Addendum
| Welcome to a truly distinctive home where handcrafted architecture, natural materials and everyday comfort come together. Located in the sought-after Wychwood neighbourhood of Aylmer, this custom-built timber-frame and straw-bale residence offers a warm, rustic character and an architectural identity rarely found on the market.
From the moment you enter, the natural materials and architectural details make an impression. Exposed wood beams, cedar ceilings, solid pine doors and 9-ft ceilings on the main floor create an inviting atmosphere. Generous windows bring in abundant natural light, while mosaic window sills add a unique finishing touch.
The bright kitchen features a beautiful combination of quartz and butcher-block countertops. On the main floor, stamped concrete flooring with radiant heating adds both character and everyday comfort.
Upstairs, the loft-style level features ceilings reaching up to 11 ft, complemented by exposed wood details and bamboo flooring throughout. The primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet, while the bathroom features a large ceramic shower, a freestanding clawfoot tub and cork flooring. The home offers three bedrooms, one full bathroom and one powder room.
One of the property's most remarkable features is its straw-bale construction. This building method combines a load-bearing timber frame with tightly packed straw bales forming the exterior walls. Recognized for its environmental benefits, this approach creates thick exterior walls that provide effective insulation and sound absorption. Natural finishing materials further enhance the home's distinctive character.
Outside, enjoy a beautifully landscaped backyard enclosed by a white cedar fence, complete with a covered gazebo and space to relax or entertain. Situated on a corner lot, the property also enjoys an exceptional location directly beside Woods Park and cycling trails leading straight to Aylmer Marina.
Within walking distance of elementary schools, a splash pad, and the shops and restaurants along Rue Principale, this address offers an outstanding neighbourhood lifestyle. The Champlain Bridge is also conveniently nearby.
A rare opportunity to own an environmentally conscious home with remarkable architectural character in one of Aylmer's most desirable neighbourhoods. |
