Property Description

Welcome to the iconic Quance House — a celebrated landmark in Delhi, originally built in 1896 and steeped in local heritage. Once the residence of the prominent Quance family, owners of one of the last operating mills along Big Creek in Norfolk County, this grand 2.5-storey brick home is a timeless showcase of historic craftsmanship and enduring character. Set proudly on a rare half-acre corner lot spanning two streets, this stately property offers 4 spacious bedrooms plus a main floor office, 2 beautifully updated bathrooms, convenient main floor laundry, and a refreshed kitchen that blends modern function with classic style. Inside, the home's rich history is on full display. Soaring tin ceilings, refinished hardwood floors, original trim, and intricate architectural details create a warm and elegant atmosphere reminiscent of a bygone era. The formal dining room and expansive living room provide refined spaces for hosting gatherings or enjoying peaceful evenings at home. Thoughtfully maintained and updated, the home features newer windows, a durable steel roof, a double furnace system for efficient comfort, an owned hot water tank, and a Culligan water softener system. The full walk-through basement offers excellent storage and usability, complete with new awning-style windows that bring in natural light. Outdoors, the detached double-car garage includes an attached heated man cave — perfect for hobbies, a workshop, or entertaining on game day. The expansive backyard offers ample space to relax, garden, or explore the exciting potential for future lot severance. Located just steps from Quance Park, scenic walking trails, and the natural beauty of Big Creek, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Delhi's most treasured historic homes. Historic charm. Modern comfort. Endless potential.
