Step into the story of this remarkable limestone home, built in 1815 by William Baker and known as "Barriefield House," considered one of the oldest homes in Barriefield. Rich in character, history & architectural detail, this distinguished residence offers the warmth and craftsmanship of a bygone era with the space, comfort, and livability of a gracious family home. Featuring 6+ bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms spread over 3 floors, the home offers generous space for family & guests, including a custom 6 pc ensuite, multiple fireplaces, original wood floors, beautiful trim work, & original staircases throughout.

The original limestone construction, historic details, and sense of permanence create an atmosphere that simply cannot be replicated in newer construction. Outside, extensive landscaping by Wentworth Landscapes surrounds the property, creating a private and picturesque setting that complements the home's historic stone walls that surround it. Mature greenery and thoughtfully established gardens provide beautiful spaces to relax, entertain, and enjoy the changing seasons. Take a stroll through the Barriefield Rock Garden located across the street, or discover a quiet reading nook on the 3rd floor and gaze over the Cataraqui River toward downtown.
