An exceptional offering in the heart of Niagara-on-the-Lake's Queen-Picton Heritage District, the historically recognized Promenade House (circa 1819) is a designated heritage property valued for both its architectural integrity and its place in the town's early development. Over the past two centuries, the home has served a range of uses. In the late 1820s, it operated as an inn and tavern, gaining a colourful local reputation. It later supported wartime efforts - standing during the War of 1812 era and serving as barracks during World War I. At other points, it functioned as both a school and a stable, reflecting the evolving needs of the community. Today, the property has been carefully maintained and updated as a private, luxury residence. The classic Georgian facade, Flemish bond brickwork, thick masonry walls, and traditional centre-hall plan remain intact, along with notable original millwork. A hand-crafted replica front door opens to feature wide-plank hardwood flooring throughout. The vaulted kitchen showcases exposed brick, custom lighting, premium JennAir appliances and granite counters. Elegant principal rooms display original built-ins, the restful library is anchored by a gas fireplace. Upstairs, spacious bedrooms include a refined primary retreat with custom built-in closets and fireplace, complemented by two beautifully renovated bathrooms and a convenient second-floor laundry. A cozy media room with a third gas fireplace (crafted from the home's original hearth), along with additional guest accommodations, laundry, and utility space complete the lower level. Professionally landscaped grounds, impressive exterior lighting, and a new cedar roof perfect this iconic property. Ideally situated at Prideaux and Regent Streets, one block from both Queen Street and Lake Ontario, The Promenade House offers timeless "Old Town" character and refinement for the discerning purchaser.
