About this property
Charming Carriage House in Niagara's Wine Country
A converted carriage house and former blacksmith shop with a rich history dating back to the 1800’s - fully updated with modern amenities and a splendid garden. This is a one level plus loft bedroom, ideal for those who have challenges with stairs. Centrally located near the Falls, Niagara Parkway, Niagara-on-the-Lake, casinos, wineries and the largest outlet mall in Canada. A great gathering spot in any season with a full kitchen, laundry and outdoor space ready to entertain family and friends.
This updated and fully appointed space abounds with character and was originally used as a carriage house for the owner's horse and carriage. In the late 1800's it was converted into a blacksmith shop by the Swedish born Otto Lofgren who also ran the forge down the road at the Queenston Quarry. Relics from his days of black-smithing have been found on the premises and the stone carriage stair out front bares his family name.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE: this property being located on an historic crossroads has become a major entry point into Niagara. As a result, street traffic can often be very busy during the day but quiets down significantly at night.

Why they chose this property
This adorable building was derelict in 2017 when purchased. It was a diamond in the rough and has been painstakingly restored and modernized creating a high level of charm and comfort. We have since restored the original Farmhouse next door which we also offer as a vacation rental property (see listing VRBO 1381167).
What makes this property unique
The Carriage House has exposed cathedral ceilings and beams. The living space has a central gas fireplace and massive stone hearth. It has a primary bedroom on the main floor with an attached powder room and a wonderful loft bedroom above. The main bathroom has cozy heated floors and a safe step free shower. The Cottage style perennial garden out front is spectacular and undergoes dynamic changes with the seasons.
