Property Description
Welcome to 1490 Blair Road, Waterloo Region's oldest standing residence, built in 1817 by the Bechtel brothers and preserved with care over two centuries.
Tucked away on 1.4 secluded acres in the prestigious Blair Village, this 2.5-storey home offers over 3,700 square feet of living space, backing directly onto the Grand River with views that feel pulled from a painting. The tree-lined gravel driveway winds up to the home like an opening scene from a classic novel.
Inside, you'll find 4 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a sun-drenched solarium, and a third-floor loft space that's perfect as a creative studio, quiet retreat, or work-from-home hideaway. Exposed original stonework, a wood-burning fireplace, and preserved architectural details bring a sense of timeless character to the home's warm and inviting interior.
Outside? You'll fall in love. Whether you're enjoying morning coffee on the front porch, hosting summer evenings on the private patio, or wandering down to the Grand River at the back of the property, every inch of this lot is designed to inspire.
Need space for cars, hobbies, or gear? You've got two detached 2-car garages and room to roam.
Located in the exclusive Blair Village, minutes to Langdon Hall, conservation trails, and Highway 401, this is a rare chance to live in a property that's as rich in story as it is in beauty.
Ideal for buyers who crave privacy, timeless architecture, and a property that tells a story. You don't just own this home. You become part of its legacy.
