Prime opportunity in the heart of Stratford, just steps to downtown and minutes from the Stratford Festival Theatre. The century red brick house at 257 Ontario St. was originally built in 1904 by William Henry Beadle, the eldest son of Thomas Edwin Beadle and Sarah Middleditch Beadle, local owners of Mc Lagan Furniture Company. Owned by the Seller's family for five decades, this well located home was operated for many years as a B & B , welcoming guests visiting Stratford's vibrant theatre scene. The property offers a flexible layout with five bedrooms across two levels, including three upstairs and additional bedrooms on main floor with huge separated living and dining room. The current main floor bedroom and living room were originally one large formal living /dining space, now separated, offering the option to reconfigure and restore a more open concept design. The rear portion of the home, including the kitchen and back room , present an excellent opportunity for redesign to suit modern preferences. Situated within walking distance to shops, restaurants, theatres and all downtown amenities , this property is ideal for buyers looking to renovate, rental investment, create professional office, B@B establishment or a custom home in one of Stratford's most desirable locations.
