8946 WELLINGTON RD 16 Road, Damascus, Ontario

About This Property

Built in 1892 as a small country church, this charming red-brick building once served as a gathering place for the rural community of Damascus. After services ended in the mid-1900s, it was thoughtfully converted into a residence—preserving its original character and craftsmanship while introducing modern comforts. With the bricks being from Fuller’s Brickyard in West Garafraxa, and lumber Arthur, it adds a rich layer of local history. Today, 8946 Wellington Road 16 offers a truly one-of-a-kind living experience with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The home features soaring chapel-style ceilings, beautiful natural light from the cathedral windows, with living spaces filled with warmth and personality. Recent updates include new flooring (2025), fresh paint throughout (2025), updated bath, and a new furnace (2026), seamlessly blending historic charm with everyday comfort. Set in the heart of Damascus, this home offers more than just a unique living space—it’s a lifestyle. Just a two-minute walk from the front door is the Damascus Lake Loop, a scenic walking and hiking trail that circles the lake and is perfect for peaceful nature walks, morning strolls, and evening unwinds. Whether you’re enjoying the quiet countryside or exploring nearby trails, lakes, and conservation areas, this is a rare opportunity to live in a piece of history while being surrounded by natural beauty.
