About this Property
HISTORIC 1842 GRIST MILL! ERAMOSA RIVER VIEWS! 0.54 ACRES! SEPARATE IN-LAW SUITE! Welcome to 221 Barden Street, offered for sale for the first time in 46 years. Set in picturesque Eden Mills, this iconic stone mill dates to 1842 and was transformed into a remarkable residence by renowned architect Charles Simon in 1980 following a 1979 fire. Today, it blends historic character, architectural vision and a warm industrial feel. Offering approximately 3,793 sq ft of liveable space, the property features 3+2 bedrooms, 2+1 full bathrooms, upper and lower living areas, screened porches and a rooftop patio. Exposed stone walls, soaring three-storey ceilings, loft-style spaces, warm wood finishes, original industrial details and a striking glass façade create a home unlike any other. The dramatic two-storey dining room draws in natural light and frames breathtaking Eramosa River views. Two screened porches overlook the water, while the rooftop patio, enclosed by 2.5-foot-thick stone walls, is an unforgettable place to entertain. Upstairs, a loft-style family room with wood fireplace overlooks the mill pond. Greenhouse-style windows form part of the passive solar design, while the third-level open loft offers river views and space for an office or studio. A separate two-bedroom in-law suite offers its own entrance, parking, open-concept living space and four-piece bathroom. Set on 0.54 acres with 275 feet of Eramosa River frontage on two sides, the property includes a rushing dam, original mill race and upper and lower riverbeds. Discover remnants of its working past, including steel ties and an old crankshaft, while enjoying the sounds of moving water and nature. Located in Eden Mills, a unique and close-knit village known for its welcoming residents, strong community spirit and neighbours who support one another. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to become the next steward of a truly remarkable piece of history.
