Live the dream in one of the few Canadian cities where a bed and breakfast can truly be your full-time vocation. This well-established, currently operating, and consistently top-ranked property stands as Stratford’s #1 luxury, multi-award-winning bed and breakfast and events venue. With an extraordinary reputation, including recognition in the top 1% of accommodations worldwide on TripAdvisor, it offers a rare opportunity to step directly into a thriving, world-class hospitality business.
Experience estate-style living in one of Stratford’s most distinguished historic residences. Built in 1875 by architect Alexander Hepburn—renowned for his Victorian Italianate homes and the iconic Huron Street stone bridge—this grand estate sits on a rare ½-acre lot with professionally designed, award-winning gardens. The triple-brick Victorian home offers over 6,500 sq/ft of refined interior space, meticulously preserved to honour its architectural integrity while seamlessly incorporating thoughtful modern updates.
The property features two exceptionally large, elegantly appointed guest suites, each with a private ensuite. Guests enjoy two refined parlours, a formal dining room, a second-floor butler’s pantry, and a romantic Juliet balcony. Outdoors, they can relax on the sunny front porch, unwind beneath the trees on the three-tier patio, or retreat to the private courtyard surrounded by sculpted gardens and a charming firepit.
Owners benefit from generous private living space, including a dedicated bedroom, bathroom, and laundry. The updated kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, white quartz countertops, and a cherry-wood island, opening into a spectacular new 800 sq/ft sunroom with coffered ceilings, heated floors, and expansive windows overlooking the secluded courtyard. A discreet powder room sits just off the kitchen.
Beneath the sunroom, a newly constructed full basement provides exceptional storage with custom cabinetry, ample lighting, and a walk-up to the driveway leading to the coach house. The finished third-floor attic adds valuable flexibility, currently serving as a home office and an additional guest bedroom for personal visitors, ensuring no overlap with business operations. This level also offers potential for a future guest suite.
The large coach house, designed to complement the main residence, features heated flooring, insulation, drywall, and an ideal workshop space. A full second level provides excellent studio or hobby space.
Sunlight fills the home, highlighting original trim, intricate mouldings, stained glass, and elegant bay windows. Extensive renovations include new windows and doors, updated bathrooms, refreshed kitchen finishes, new carpeting, upgraded electrical systems, and modern heating and cooling—all thoughtfully integrated to respect the home’s heritage.
The impressive center hall showcases a sweeping cherry wood and black ash staircase leading to four bedrooms and the finished attic. The spacious primary suite includes an ensuite bath, his-and-hers closets, a bay window, and an original fireplace with an electric insert. Two additional bathrooms and a convenient laundry area complete the upper level.
The main floor offers a formal living room/parlour and dining room with original fireplaces, thirteen-foot ceilings, and beautifully refinished pine floors, separated by grand French doors. A second expansive family room/parlour features an original cherry wood fireplace, oak flooring, a bay window, and rich black ash woodwork.
Located in Stratford’s desirable Avondale neighbourhood, the property is within walking distance of the vibrant downtown core and world-famous Stratford Festival theatres.
