Details
Step into The Schoolmasters House, a beautifully preserved c.1818 residence that blends historic charm with modern comfort in the heart of Old Town Niagara-on-the-Lake. Located on a corner lot, this home enjoys an exceptionally private setting protected from the bustle of traffic, offering a rare sense of peace while still being only steps from Old Town’s shops, dining, and theatres.
Set on a generous 144 x 104 ft lot with landscaped gardens and a tranquil fish pond, the property feels like a quiet retreat. With four bedrooms—three featuring private ensuites—and two additional full bathrooms, this former Bed and Breakfast is ideal for extended families or rental use. Several bedrooms have private entrances, perfect for guests or short-term stays.
Original wide-plank wood floors run throughout the home (no carpet), while four wood-burning fireplaces and one gas fireplace add warmth and character to every space. The main floor includes a spacious primary bedroom with ensuite, a second full bathroom with a deep soaker tub, laundry, and a large family room that can double as a home office or hobby area.
The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with a professional gas stove, abundant prep surfaces, and generous storage. Meals can be served in the formal dining room or enjoyed casually at the large island with breakfast bar. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional ensuite bedrooms—one with private stairs and an exterior entrance—alongside a fourth bedroom, another full bath, and a cozy sitting area.
This multi-generational, multi-family home offers exceptional flexibility and income potential. The property also includes powered workshops, a garden shed, and a garbage shed. Major updates include a new cedar roof on the front (2021) and rear (2024), and an updated furnace and central air (2017). A heritage grant is available to assist with roofing on the addition along Gage Street.
The Schoolmasters House is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Niagara-on-the-Lake’s history—a serene, private oasis in the very heart of Old Town.
