About this home

Some homes just have a way of making everyday life feel a little more magical. Tucked away on one of Owen Sound's loveliest dead-end streets, 237 4th Street 'A' East is a beautifully updated century home with all the character you'd hope for, the modern comforts you want, and your very own piece of the Sydenham River right across the street. And now this riverfront home is ready for its next chapter. A graceful staircase, classic French doors, and a charming red brick fireplace surround are lovely reminders of its history, while the circular flow of the main floor makes it feel open, connected, and so easy to live in. And the kitchen? She's brand new, and she's beautiful. Crisp white Shaker cabinetry right to the ceiling, gorgeous quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a dedicated coffee bar for that all-important first cup. But the best part might just be the enormous picture window overlooking the backyard, with a sweet little breakfast nook tucked beneath it. And then there's the sunroom. Oh, the sunroom. Wrapped in windows, it might just be your favourite room in the house. Outside, a new wraparound deck and generous, fully fenced yard are made for family dinners and long summer evenings you wish would never end. Upstairs, you'll find 3 inviting bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with river views and a wonderfully deep walk-in closet. A 4-piece bathroom serves the upper level, while a convenient 2-piece powder room is tucked away on the main floor. But the real magic is outside your front door. Your privately owned riverfront parcel sits between the Mill Dam and Harrison Park. Paddle the Sydenham, explore the park trails, or stroll downtown, all from a quiet, established neighbourhood. The big updates are done, too: kitchen (2026), electrical (2026), luxury vinyl plank flooring (2026), upgraded insulation (2026), windows (2023), and high-efficiency furnace (2022). A little history. A little waterfront. And a whole lot to look forward to.
