About this property
Secondary suite in the heart of Carleton Place!
Steps from downtown Carleton place - restaurants, shopping and wedding venues!
Kitchenette with microwave, fridge, induction cooktop and whatever you need to cook a simple meal (there is not an oven).
The unit features two bedrooms (1 Queen and 1 King), each with a seating area, and a full bathroom with tub/shower combo.
Please note there are security cameras on the outside of the property facing the entrance and the driveway.
This is an upstairs secondary suite with a dedicated entrance. Those with mobility issues should note that as this is a century home the staircase is not as wide as modern staircases and a bit steeper.
We live on the property and are happy to help should you need anything! Your apartment is accessible through a dedicated entrance at the back of the house.
We are located 20 minutes (by car) west of Kanata or 40 minutes to downtown Ottawa. Carleton place is not near Carleton University :). The Ottawa Airport (YOW) is approximately 50 minutes by car.
Please note this is a century house and sound travels! you may hear kid noises or noise from other guests through the walls.
Our property is pet friendly.
There is parking for one standard-sized vehicle in the driveway. Street parking is free and readily available except for overnights in the winter.

we have been hosting travellers since 2012 and are currently superhosts on another site.
we love! cycling, craft beer, Carleton Place, running and our kidlets! Sylvia's mum (Granny) lives with us in the winter and in the summer we rent out her apartment. We live in the main house.

Why they chose this property
We have been searching for a century home with a secondary suite in downtown Carleton place since 2016! We finally found the house just down the street from our former home, and bought and sold during the tail end of the pandemic.
What makes this property unique
This century home backs onto the Heritage museum and labyrinth. We fell in love with the character of the home as well as the covered terrace and shady yard.
It was once home to McFadden Furs. Hiram McFadden (1858 - 1936) was born in Ashton, Ontario. He was an engineer with the Edwards Lumber Company and left that line of work to learn the fur business.
A naturalist and sportsman, he was active in many sporting events locally. He achieved marked prominence as a marksman and trap shooter and qualified for Canada's Bisley team on four different occasions. In 1911 he captured the Earl and Countess Grey medal for high aggregate score.
When Hiram's daughter Edie married local boy Harry Umphry, in 1927, he handed over the fur business to his new son-in-law. Harry expanded the business, and built a large addition to the east side of the William Street house to provide a cool storage vault for furs. He closed the business and retired in 1963.
