Property Description
Maplehurst - 134 Carleton Street
Offered at: $519,500
Ideally situated near the Fairmont Algonquin Hotel, this five bedroom, centre-hall home has been an historic landmark since it was originally built in 1831. The house has been completely updated and newly decorated. A two-story addition was added in 1992 incorporating a new kitchen/family room as well as two additional rooms and a bath upstairs. The gently sloping lawn and mature trees make a picture perfect setting.
