Nestled in the heart of Old Oakville, 46 First St. stands as a striking example of historic character mixed with modern flair.
From the outside, the home’s charm is undeniable, with its arched front doors and nods to the area’s historic aesthetic. Despite the house’s established-looking exterior, it’s actually not one of the original Old Oakville homes and was only built in 1960.
The home was originally designed to look like a coach house with features like the home’s shingle-clad exterior walls and a tall cedar-shingled hip roof adorned with evenly spaced arched dormers and a central cupola.
The foyer.
But the front door is where the historic vibes stop.
