The William Thoburn Estate c. 1888

Offered At $ 1,795,000.00

“Very Rare” seems so overused these days ….. but that is exactly what this home is. A Stone home commissioned and built by a very prominent citizen in 1887, and lovingly lived and cared for ever since. This home was not a settlers home, built out of necessity with whatever materials were on hand. This home was sited on almost an acre of town land and designed by the award winning architect Marshal B. Aylsworth for W. M. Thoburn and his family. William Thoburn was the local mill owner, very important to the village of Almonte. So many original details still remain. The trims, doors and slate roof. The floor plan has evolved but in a very respectful way.

This home requires many photos … to try and make it easier to understand …

Imagine a stone home that was built to be an elegant residence …. with a large main foyer, large gathering rooms and lots of character.

Dave Chomitz has been focused on matching stone home sellers with the families that dream of owing one since 2008. Having extensive experience in historical restoration prior to entering real estate, working with these beautiful structures was a natural fit. Dave understands the magnitude of the decision to sell and respects and honours stone home owners feelings about the process. He also is in the unique position to help stone home buyers understand the investment they're making. Being custodians of these legacy properties is as much a privilege as it is a reward for a life well spent. Let Dave help you.

Steeped in old world character, the century stone home exudes country charm and brilliantly recalls to memory the image of days gone by. Built by the the Empire Loyalists, sometimes up to 200 years ago, the quality of construction remains apparent in the fact that they are still standing and in most cases where they have been loved, still shine as one of the prettiest and most popular design of architecture available today. The custom workmanship stands the test of time as does it's period design. At A Stone Home we understand these homes, and we understand the people who own them or dream of buying one some day. It's a process unlike any other in real estate. Since 2007 Dave Chomitz has made Stone Homes a focus of his business and in doing so have come to understand the unique steps and approach most real estate agents never see and certainly don't get. Experience has shown that the typical Stone Home Buyer is looking for that "special" house, location is often secondary. Because they aren't focused on geography, the search can be far reaching ~ often province wide. This creates an enormous challenge for local real estate agents who are trying to expose a home to all potential buyers.
