Skip the cottage traffic and enjoy your own private resort in the city. Welcome to the iconic Robert Orr Farmhouse, a landmark 1881 residence set on a private 2/3-acre lot in Kitchener’s desirable Rosenberg community. Honoured with the City of Kitchener’s Mike & Pat Wagner Heritage Award, this exceptional property has undergone an extensive 3-year, $900K restoration and expansion, blending historic character with modern luxury. The backyard retreat is designed for entertaining and relaxation, featuring a 15’ x 32’ smart-controlled Tim Goodwin inground diving pool, professional putting green, horseshoe pit, natural gas firepit, RV parking, irrigation system, invisible pet fencing, and mature maple trees offering exceptional privacy. Inside, original character shines through stained-glass accents, a classic curved staircase, wood floors, oversized baseboards, and a newly reproduced front porch true to the home’s 1881 heritage. The chef-inspired kitchen features quartz countertops, premium appliances, a breakfast bar, built-in coffee station, and custom walk-in pantry/mudroom. A bright 3-season sunroom, formal living and dining rooms, and an updated main-floor bathroom complete the main level. Upstairs offers spacious bedrooms, convenient second-floor laundry, and a spa-inspired bathroom with custom tilework and quartz vanity. Major improvements include 200-amp electrical service, updated HVAC and plumbing, roof, windows, eaves, and repointed masonry. The detached triple coach house adds exceptional flexibility, with its own HVAC system, 100-amp electrical service, full bathroom, bedroom, living area, space ready for a kitchen, and a finished lower level ideal for a gym, office, studio, games room, guest retreat, or man cave. Located across from RBJ Schlegel Park and surrounded by trails, recreation, and green space, this is a rare opportunity to own a celebrated piece of Kitchener history while enjoying exceptional privacy and true resort-style living at home.
