Restored farmhouse for sale north of Toronto has backyard barn and basement wine cellar

A restored farmhouse north of Toronto comes with the original barn in the backyard and a wine cellar downstairs.

The home at 21 Charles Street in Georgetown has a hefty price-tag at $2.4 million.

The home at 21 Charles Street was completely restored.

The home was originally built in 1913 by a family who farmed the surrounding orchards. The home is a mixture of modern and tradition, restored with the same designer and builder as a Toronto home at 83 Willcocks Street, said realtor Jenna Pattison.

There is a space for a tiny office.

The home stayed in the same family for several generations, and then was acquired and completely gutted in 2020, said Pattison. The four-storey (including the basement) home has more than 4,000 square feet of living space that has been renovated with a big addition and garage added.

The kitchen is open concept with all new appliances.

The main floor has a modern, open concept kitchen.

The living room is renovated with a gas fireplace.

The living room comes with a gas fireplace. The entire home combines modern glass and metal juxtaposed with original stone and brick, said Pattison.

The master bedroom has a walk out deck.

There are four bedrooms and five bathrooms. Three of the bathrooms are full and two are powder rooms.

The walk-in closet has tons of room.

The bathroom comes with a soaker tub.

Keeping some of the old features, the designers created a staircase with exposed brick.

For car aficionados, there are two separate driveways, a garage and carport.
