Welcome to this truly unique, one-of-a-kind home in the charming town of Watson—formerly a church and now beautifully transformed into a distinctive residential property full of character and warmth. From the moment you step inside, you’ll be impressed by the stunning architectural details, including soaring ceilings and breathtaking stained-glass windows that fill the space with natural light. The welcoming foyer opens into a spacious, open-concept main floor, creating an airy, inviting atmosphere. Just off the foyer is a beautifully finished 3-piece bathroom. The gorgeous kitchen features a central island, ample cabinetry, and stylish vinyl plank flooring that flows seamlessly throughout the main living areas. The kitchen opens to the bright living room, where the impressive stained-glass windows continue to showcase the home’s historic charm. Up a step, you’ll find the private primary bedroom (currently used as their bedroom but no closet or opening window) highlighted by a beautiful barn door that adds both character and functionality. The lower level offers additional living space with a large open family room, a 3-piece bathroom combined with a laundry area, and a separate storage/utility room. There is also a convenient exterior porch entrance providing direct access to the basement. Outside, the property continues to impress with a fully fenced yard offering privacy and space to enjoy. Relax or entertain on the large deck featuring a built-in hot tub area. There is also a designated garden space along with plenty of green space for outdoor activities. This exceptional property blends historic charm with modern updates—an incredible opportunity to own a truly special home in Watson. All appliances included and immediate possession available. Move right in and enjoy! (id:65958)

Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
Pick a down payment and tap any underlined number to edit. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Monthly carrying costs (shared)
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Accelerated bi-weekly frequency reduces total interest paid vs. monthly — confirm with a broker. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy. Always validate with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
We'll reply by text within a few hours. Comparable sales, condition flags, things worth checking — sent before you book a showing.
