25 Dunbar Street

Some homes make an impression the moment you step inside. At 25 Dunbar Street, that feeling begins the moment you arrive. Set on 0.92 acres in the heart of Glen Morris, this remarkable fieldstone residence is framed by century-old trees, lush gardens and manicured lawns, creating the feeling of a private country estate.

Built in 1867 by Gavin Fleming, a member of Sir John A. Macdonald’s first Canadian Parliament, this distinguished home offers 3,993 square feet of beautifully preserved character paired with the comfort and functionality of modern living. Even more appealing, the property is not heritage designated, giving future owners the freedom to personalize while preserving its remarkable history.

Inside, timeless craftsmanship is evident throughout, from the high baseboards, crown mouldings and deep window ledges to the substantial trim and elegant proportions. At the heart of the home is the spectacular great room, featuring a striking stone fireplace, coffered ceiling and heated slate floors. Spacious principal rooms, a formal dining room, inviting kitchen and custom office provide exceptional space for everyday family living, working from home and entertaining.

With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home offers a thoughtful layout that feels both grand and welcoming. Outside, the insulated and heated garage features approximately 16-foot ceilings with room for up to four vehicles, while the expansive driveway accommodates approximately eight to ten additional vehicles.

Professional-use zoning and potential short-term accommodation use provide additional flexibility for future owners. Located just moments from the Grand River, scenic trails and major highways, Glen Morris offers the perfect balance of small-town charm and convenient access to surrounding communities.

Some homes are simply impossible to recreate. Like a fine antique or a beautifully restored classic, 25 Dunbar Street represents an opportunity to own something truly distinctive—rich in history, thoughtfully updated and designed to be enjoyed for generations to come.
