This 1893 Queen Anne Revival stands out for its unmatched income potential: a main residence currently operating as a licensed bed and breakfast and a detached carriage house with two separate rental units (a two-bedroom and a studio). Whether you're seeking immediate rental revenue, space for extended family, or a flexible live/work setup, this property delivers. Inside the main house, you'll find preserved period features such as original stained glass, ornate millwork, a grand newel post, and a tower with river views. The layout is both gracious and practical, with a spacious library, sun-filled living and dining rooms, a butler's pantry, a large kitchen, and a powder room. Upstairs, four oversized bedrooms (including a large primary suite) await, and the third floor, with plumbing, offers even more possibilities for a suite, studio, or retreat. A storied address once home to Dr. W. George Dow, this property has served as a medical office, insurance business, and community gathering place. Today, it's ready for its next chapter offering the rare chance to own a historic home with proven, versatile income streams in the heart of Owen Sound. (id:55499)
