Drew and Perry among Woodstock streets with lovely yester-year houses

Charm and character in many older homes on market
By Mark Schadenberg
A new home (brand new construction) might be your choice, but keep in mind that many great older houses can be viewed which provide character, charm and comfort.
For example, I grew up in the Drew – Oxford streets neighbourhood of Woodstock – west of historic tree-lined VanSittart.
As a child my Mom would cart her sons (including me) two blocks to VanSittart Park at the corner of Drew. In this cart (actually a wagon, of course) we would pass a stately 2-storey at 314 Drew St.
Today, I’m 47 years old, and the same owner still resides in that yellow/beige brick house, and now it’s currently on the market for the first time in more than 50 years.
Below are several older homes listed by Royal LePage Triland. If you would like to view one or more, call myself today. You can also most certainly dial the listing agent for more details and a showing as I have also noted their respective names.
For all the listings, look up www.realtor.ca for additional interior and exterior pictures. As a Royal LePage Triland agent, I know the importance of promoting our in-office listings.

Versatile home -- versatile listing. The kitchen is designed for professional use such as a daycare centre. Enormous dining room off this upgraded galley kitchen. Living room is 30 x 20 (600 sq ft ). Second-floor could be more bedrooms as there is currently a 2nd kitchen. Located in village of Beachville, so home would be ideal for anyone requiring quick 401 access. Currently set up with just 2 very large bedrooms, which could be sub-divided for a family. Home’s history includes previous use as a church.
