Jaws will drop when your friends see your new castle, an awe-inspiring triple brick 2,052 square foot home.
Built in 1870 for Mr. A. L. Smith, on the south west corner of Hotel and Ann Streets (now known as Victoria Avenue)
Mr. Smith ran a tinsmithing and stove-dealing business.
The builder was Mr. James Johnson, the carpenter was Mr. Maclean.
The home was sold to John Stratton Wardner family in 1938.
It remained in their possession for 60 years, most notably to their daughter Muriel Andrews, a well known Belleville artist and art teacher.
In 1998 Victor Michailov bought the home. He created a soaring foyer with Gothic ceiling arches, by extending the front hall into the space previously occupied by 2 second floor bedrooms
Bright and beautiful living room with original working sliding pocket doors
Incredible dining room with vaulted oval ceiling with custom paint
The large kitchen features antique washed cabinets imported from Italy, ceramic tile backsplash and slate floors
Convenient powder room off the large hallway
Upstairs you will find a mammoth master bedroom with stacking washer and dryer and double closets.
This room is outfitted with all of the necessary wiring to install automated blinds with a space in the closet for the system controls.
There is a gorgeous gas fireplace with a wall-mounted TV above (this may be negotiable).
All of the wiring is built in. Even the speaker is built right into the wall.
Dramatic double doors lead to a beautiful modern bath with soaker tub, corner shower and double vanity raised sinks.
The second level landing floors are ceramic tile; the flooring and walls in the bath are as well
A second bedroom is steeped in drama with a rounded faux animal print half moon carpeted step down to a sunken room with a vaulted ceiling, 2 skylights, custom canopy and built-in night stands with gold gilt paint detail
There are 6” studs lining the brick and insolated and fire proof with R30 Roxul stone wool batting, bringing house R value to about 2 times higher than any custom built house.
