The Place

This four-bedroom, four-bathroom Victorian standout nestled in the heart of Old Milton stands on a rare double lot and has a triple garage with a big loft up top. It’s within walking distance of a handful of schools and parks, and motorists are a short drive from both Highway 25 and the 401.

The History

This property on Thomas Street is literally in Milton’s history books. It was built in 1892, and by 2007 it had won the town’s Heritage Award for Refurbishment.

The Tour

The landscaped garden, intricate corbels, gingerbread trim and original double front doors set the tone for the rest of the house.

Taking in the doors from the foyer highlights their wrought-iron-and-glass design. The cherry floors extend throughout the house.

A reverse angle reveals the classic hallway stretching to the rear of the home, the original two-tone staircase and a set of Chinese lions guarding the living room.

In that living room: bay windows, a Turkish-style chandelier, and tons of antiques and knick-knacks from the owner’s many travels.

Next is the dining room, which, like the rest of the house, has crown mouldings. It also has a gas fireplace. (But that sarcophagus is not included.)

The kitchen comes with plenty of storage, including a walk-in pantry. There are also two sinks, a garbage compactor, a dishwasher and a fridge from Tristar.

Here’s a closer look at the massive gas cooking station, equipped with six burners, an iron griddle and two ovens. It also comes with a pot-filler faucet.

The adjoining dining area features a side entrance (which, in the old days, was the servant’s entrance). A second set of stairs is tucked in the corner.

This is the family room, with built-in bookshelves, an electric fireplace and a wall of windows.

Here’s the main bedroom.

The main ensuite has both a walk-in shower (marble and modern) and a clawfoot tub (curvy and vintage). And yes, that is an original Hudson’s Bay blanket draped on the wall, purchased over a hundred years ago.

Note the main ensuite’s bulbous Victorian-style vanities.

Here’s a peek inside one of the secondary bedrooms, overlooking the garden.

There are more Victorian accents in the shared bathroom, such as a pedestal sink and an old soaker tub.

Here’s another shared bathroom, this one with a walk-in shower and a cabinet vanity.

Let’s make a quick detour to the laundry room before heading outside.

The house also comes with a wrap-around porch, a large garden and a fountain.

As for the separate garage and loft, it has stable doors and charming dormer windows.

Lastly, here’s a peek inside the loft, which is heated and plumbed in.
