A rare opportunity to combine residential living, commercial space, and income potential in the heart of Embro. This distinctive property features a spacious 5-bedroom, 2-bath, 2-storey character century home along with an impressive approximately 76' x 35' two-storey shop, offering exceptional flexibility for an owner-operator, investor, entrepreneur, car enthusiast, or hobbyist. Live in the home while operating your business from the shop, lease the shop for additional income, or occupy the commercial space and potentially lease the residence - the configuration creates several possibilities for both personal use and investment. The home is filled with timeless character, beginning with an welcoming stone front porch and continuing inside with beautiful wood accents, original wood baseboards and trim and stained glass windows. The main floor offers incredible natural light with many large windows, a formal dining room, a front office, and a spacious country kitchen, main floor laundry, a sunroom and high ceilings throughout. Upstairs, five bedrooms provide plenty of space, while the bright second-floor sunroom offers a quiet place to relax. The substantial two-storey shop is the standout feature for anyone requiring workspace, storage, business premises, or additional rental potential. Highway Commercial zoning further expands the possibilities for a variety of permitted commercial uses, subject to municipal approvals. Located in the growing small-town community of Embro, surrounded by countryside yet conveniently positioned between Woodstock, Stratford, and London. The community offers access to everyday ammenities, a primary school, arena, parks, all while maintaining the charm and slower pace of rural Ontario. Whether you're looking for a live/work property, commercial investment, income-producing opportunity, or a unique combination of home and business space, this property offers versatility that is increasingly hard to find.
