482 Emery Street E, London South, ON N6C 2E8

Set in the heart of Old South, this timeless Ontario cottage blends the charm of Wortley with the conveniences of a 2-storey rear addition. It's where classic charm meets the function today's families need. At over 2500sq' of finished living space, this home is composed of 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, & sits on a 180' deep private lot. The original cottage proudly showcases its history w/ stained glass windows, wide plank flooring underfoot, & high ceilings that give each room a sense of openness. A bold main floor bath features the original claw-foot tub & a striking wood accent wall, while an enormous laundry room adds a level of function rarely found in homes of this vintage. A quiet office offers a place to focus, while also concealing a hidden upper retreat - an elevated space w/ vaulted ceilings & a large skylight that pours in natural light, making it ideal as a home gym, or creative workspace. The heart of the home is the charming middleman - bridging the original home & opening into the addition, where 10' ceilings & an airy layout create an inviting atmosphere. A gas fireplace mantle anchors the space, while a built-in bar is ready to host gatherings. Sliding glass doors draw your attention to the backyard retreat, & practical mud area off the driveway introduces you to huge storage closets. The mature backyard shows off a newer deck, manicured gardens, & a powered garden shed that lends itself equally well to gardening or a retreat space. Upstairs, the addition offers 3 large bedrooms, a fully updated 4PC bathroom, & a primary suite that'll make your jaw drop. The huge walk-in closet is lit by a full-sized window, while the updated ensuite reals you in. The cherry on top? A private patio off the primary overlooks the lush, quiet yard - your morning coffee reset. This home is two blocks from schools, parks, cafes, & minutes to Victoria Hospital, showcasing that perfect blend between character, space and location in one of London's most prized neighbourhoods.
