L"The Big House" was the first permanent house built in the Brighton Beach Survey developed by W.D. Flatt as a summer vacation area. Each of the property owners in the survey jointly owns an interest in the nearby beach front. The house was built in 1920 for Joseph and Edith Hunter by Alexander Milne. Located at the centre point of the fork in the road entering the Survey, the house is an anchor of the neighbourhood. Although many alterations have changed the one-and-a-half-storey structure, the original charm of its Craftsman Style design remains. A paneled front door, stained glass window, brick chimney,original windows with stone sills, voissoir brick arches, wood trim & centre front gable have been preserved. Original cedar shingle roof & Craftsman Style verandah with round columns have been replaced with asphalt roofing & pressure-treated lumber. This is a designated Heritage property with a 40% property tax rebate annually. Built by Alexander Milne, a piece of wood used in the construction of the exterior wall is dated October 5, 1920, with Milne's name. Everything in the home has been updated including the kitchen which boasts an appliance package from Elmira Stove Works with both a gas and an electric oven, All washrooms, new pool liner and plumbing for the 20' x 40' inground heated pool installed in 2020 along with new stamped concrete pool deck and privacy fencing.Private beach access is directly behind the home through the ravine. Very quiet and private neighborhood with a short walk to miles of beautiful trails. The home also comes with drawings for a proposed addition to the right hand side which has been previously approved but never constructed. It allows the purchaser to add a 4 car garage and a giant 2 bath master suite above. A ONE-OF-A KIND HOME IN HIGHLY DESIRABLE NEIGHBOURHOOD. Offer presentation Feb 27th 6pm.
