Ever dreamed of living in a piece of local history? Welcome to 8946 Wellington Road 16 in Damascus - a truly one-of-a-kind home that began its life in 1892 as a small country church serving the rural community of Damascus. Today, this stunning red-brick conversion offers the rare opportunity to own a home filled with character, craftsmanship, and stories that simply can't be recreated. Built with bricks from Fuller's Brickyard in West Garafraxa and lumber sourced from Arthur, the home carries deep local roots while seamlessly blending historic charm with modern comfort. Inside, soaring chapel-style ceilings and beautiful cathedral windows flood the living spaces with natural light, creating a warm and unforgettable atmosphere unlike anything else on the market. The current owners have thoughtfully updated the home to provide peace of mind while preserving its original character, including a brand new steel roof completed in May 2026, a new furnace installed in 2026, new flooring throughout in 2025, fresh paint throughout in 2025, and an updated bathroom. Offering 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this home is perfect for someone searching for more than just another property - it's a lifestyle, a retreat, and a true conversation piece all in one. And the setting is just as special as the home itself. Located in the heart of Damascus, you're only a two-minute walk from the scenic Damascus Lake Loop trail, perfect for peaceful morning walks, hiking, and evening unwinds surrounded by nature. Homes like this rarely come available. This isn't just a home - it's your chance to own a piece of Ontario history. **INTERBOARD LISTING: CORNERSTONE ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS**
