59 Allen Street, Waterloo

This timeless, one-of-a-kind Victorian residence stands proudly at the corner of Allen Street West and Esson Street, just steps from the heart of Uptown Waterloo. Built in 1877 and meticulously updated for modern living, 59 Allen Street West seamlessly blends the craftsmanship of a bygone era with today's conveniences, offering an unparalleled walkable lifestyle. Mature gardens and historic surroundings welcome you to the covered front porch and into a main floor defined by soaring 10-foot ceilings, stunning period details, and thoughtful contemporary updates. Rich walnut and cherry hardwood flooring, pocket French doors, character-filled built-ins, and large windows create a warm and elegant atmosphere throughout. Entertain with ease in the spacious formal dining room, bright parlour, and beautifully updated kitchen featuring stone countertops, breakfast seating, and premium Fisher & Paykel appliances. A cozy study (or fourth bedroom) with a period fireplace, a charming main-floor bedroom, luxurious five-piece bath, and convenient laundry complete this level. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms, including a distinctive primary suite with a rarely seen widow's watch and walk-in closet. A bright three-piece bathroom serves the upper level. The partially finished basement offers valuable additional living space rarely found in a home of this vintage, ideal for hobbies, yoga, recreation, or storage. A two-piece bath, workshop, and utility area add further functionality. A side porch off the family room leads directly to the private, fully fenced side yard and gardens. Parking for up to three vehicles is available on the private driveway, though you may find yourself leaving the car at home. Uptown Waterloo, Belmont Village, and the picturesque streets of Westmount are all just a short walk away.
