Overview
Description
Character, space, and a location that checks every box — welcome to 129 Sanborne Street, a stunning 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom century home nestled in one of New Glasgow's most mature and sought-after neighbourhoods. From the moment you step through the leaded glass front door, the craftsmanship speaks for itself, an ornate original staircase, rich hardwood floors, solid wood panelled doors, original trim, and a breathtaking decorative fireplace with cast iron insert that anchors the main living space beautifully. These are details that simply don't exist in new construction. The bright main floor flows easily from formal living to dining, with a functional kitchen, and a convenient mudroom and laundry area with direct access to the rear deck and yard. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms retain all their original charm, while the primary bedroom features its own private 2-piece ensuite. A beautifully updated full bathroom with clawfoot soaker tub and marble-surround glass shower adds a touch of luxury. Recent updates including a new roof and newer propane boiler mean the big-ticket items are already done. Outside, enjoy a covered front porch, paved driveway, detached garage, large back deck, and fully fenced backyard — all just minutes from downtown New Glasgow, the riverfront, schools, and shopping. Homes with this much character, space, and value don't come along often.
