26 Nelson Street

History comes alive in this exceptional estate property in the heart of Madoc Village. One of the town's signature residences, this hilltop home spans four town lots, with beautifully landscaped grounds extending across two streets. Built circa 1860 by the Orr family, the home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates. The distinctive patterned slate roof-replaced just three years ago preserves its original charm while offering modern durability. A paved drive leads to the former carriage house, now an attached garage with a spacious loft providing ample storage. Inside, original details such as baseboard trim, hardwood flooring, and a grand staircase showcase the home's rich heritage. The main level features elegant formal living and dining rooms, a comfortable family room, a 3-piece bath, and convenient main-floor laundry. The updated kitchen (renovated eight years ago) is both stylish and functional, highlighted by a large center island with seating and picturesque views of the backyard. Outside, manicured perennial gardens surround a striking locust tree centerpiece, creating a tranquil and private retreat. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms offer plenty of space for family or guests, along with a full bathroom featuring a relaxing jacuzzi tub. Enjoy peaceful afternoons on the secluded back deck, or take a refreshing dip in the private 14' x 28' in-ground pool, enclosed by a privacy fence. While numerous updates have been completed, the home's 165 years of history can still be felt in every room. Ideally located within walking distance to local amenities including the school, post office, pharmacy, medical centre, and Foodland. Close to numerous lakes and recreational trails for your enjoyment, and a convenient location between Toronto and Ottawa. This is a truly remarkable property-rich in character, beautifully maintained, and ready to welcome its next chapter.
