12 Park Street East, Dundas

Nestled in the heart of Downtown Dundas, just steps from everything this charming town has to offer, this remarkable home stands as a living piece of history. Originally built in the 1840s on the foundation of the First Ontario Potter’s Shop (circa 1841), it beautifully blends preserved old-world charm with thoughtful modern enhancements.

Character radiates throughout, from the classic plaster and lathe walls and oak hardwoods with inlaid detail to the rich wainscotting that showcases expert craftsmanship. The front living room features soaring 10-foot ceilings and a stunning original fireplace with a casting dated 1835. A graceful step-down design adds architectural depth, while natural light pours through beautifully maintained wood-framed windows and skylights above.

At the heart of the home is a warm and inviting kitchen complete with granite countertops, a movable island, and a cozy adjoining mudroom with main floor laundry. A versatile main-floor study and 2-piece powder room offer flexibility for daily living. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, including a spacious primary retreat with wardrobe storage, and a beautifully lit landing that doubles as a library, reading nook, or open-concept office. The third bedroom is perfect as a nursery or workspace.

Modern mechanicals provide peace of mind with 200-amp service to the home, 100 amps to the pump house, and 60 amps to the fully renovated garage. The garage features in-floor heating, a tankless water heater, a finished loft with built-in TV, and freestanding air conditioning — ideal as a studio, gym, or guest retreat.

Outside, the Victorian-style veranda sets the stage for a private backyard oasis. Enjoy a 20’ x 40’ saltwater pool, separate hot tub, and a fully equipped pool house complete with a sauna and 3-piece bath — a true resort-like escape in the heart of town. Mature landscaping and thoughtful design offer both beauty and privacy.

Just a short stroll to local shops, restaurants, the Dundas Driving Park, conservation trails, schools, and only minutes to McMaster University, GO Transit, and major highways — this timeless estate is a rare and captivating offering in one of Dundas' most treasured locations.
