DAINARD/OTTERWAY HOUSE c.1825 Thoughtful design and pristine craftsmanship define this spectacular opportunity in Prince Edward County. Immense timbers, preserved at the core of this home, have been reinvigorated for year-round enjoyment with today’s modern amenities. A sense of calm and engagement with the landscape prevails throughout, with the whimsical estate’s layout enticing a “walkabout” that follows gardens, wild flowers and woodland spanning the grounds. A slight meandering driveway leads to a vibrant courtyard with ample parking and strolling path to main entrance beneath a covered porch. Beyond, a welcoming foyer is characterized by hewn wood accents, antique hardware and French doors that open to the core of the home with wood burning stove nestled in a stone hearth. From here, there are gathering spaces, each with their own unique flare, including a notable great room that features vaulted, double-height ceiling, soaring windows, exposed beams, and an open-plan kitchen / living / eat-in area for truly relaxed ‘County’ living and entertaining. The spacious primary wing (including an eye towards barrier-free design elements) on the main floor, and three-bedroom guest wing on the upper level have their own sitting areas to offer peace and privacy. An additional bedroom on the main floor offers many diverse uses that include accessible sleeping quarters or secluded office / library. Not to be missed is the expansive screened sunroom overlooking the westerly views and sunsets at days end. Rich with personality, architectural components, and nostalgic details from the era of the original homestead are all there to be discovered. A carriage house with separate garage space offers endless potential for hobby pursuits / lifestyle needs when not enjoying a little fire on the landscaped terrace or bigger one with family and friends at the bonfire gathering area. This is an impressive proposition in a desirable location.
