A Classic Eastern Ontario Stone Home

by adminApril 2, 2015May 31, 2015Some Good Stories

Circa 1840 stone home with several additions over the years, including a main floor family room, an attached garage, a large apartment that can either be completely separate or a part of the main home and so much more. Large principal rooms, high ceilings and big windows make for a very pleasant space. Much of the original detail and charm remained.

SELLER TRIED LOCALLY ~ THEN CALLED US

This property had a tremendous presence from the road.

Set back – but not too far it was a classic representation of the limestone homes of Eastern Ontario.

Clearly built for a family of means – the original home had tremendous detail both inside and out.

We listed the home after it had been offered for an extended period by a local agent. There were some things about the home that to some would add value (pond, apartment, barns set up for horses – but for others those same features could be challenges for others.

In the end it took over 14 months to find the family that was the perfect fit.

When that happened I received a call from a small town in Quebec “is that home still available – I want to buy it”

One showing and it was done.

The point is – the buyer would never have found this home on traditional marketing platforms.

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.
