About this home

Welcome to 5 St Columba Drive in Leitches Creek, where timeless character, thoughtful updates and waterfront living come together in a truly unique century home. Formerly the manse for the neighbouring church, this impressive property has been beautifully renovated while preserving the details that give a home of this era its unmistakable charm. The spacious foyer is highlighted by a striking custom staircase, while nine-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, crown moulding, European-style radiators, custom wood panelling and large windows carry throughout the home. Antique features including transom doorways, leaded glass accents and fireplace mantels add even more character. The spacious kitchen is ideal for gathering and entertaining, featuring stainless steel appliances, wine cooler and oversized butcher-block island. The bright main living areas offer access to outdoor decks overlooking the peaceful surroundings and Leitches Creek. Upstairs you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with a private half bath and conveniently located laundry. An additional smaller room offers flexibility as an office, craft room or fourth bedroom. The main bathroom features a custom tiled rainfall shower, separate jetted tub and electric fireplace. A private staircase leads to the expansive undeveloped attic, offering exciting potential for additional finished living space. Outside, enjoy a landscaped property with covered patios, multiple decks and approximately 120 feet of waterfront along Leitches Creek. Recent updates include heat pumps installed in 2021 and a new fence surrounding the property. Rich in history, character and charm, 5 St Columba Drive is a truly special property.
