A rare opportunity to own one of Galt's landmark stone homes. Built in 1859 by master stone masons Thomas and James Dalgleish and recently added to Cambridge's Heritage Registry, this three-storey residence offers 4,780 sq ft, 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms on a generous, fully fenced lot. Character is everywhere: deep stone walls, arched window openings, original woodwork, stained glass, pocket doors, and two wood-burning fireplaces anchoring the main living spaces. Just as important, the heavy lifting is done. Over $200,000 in renovations since 2022 includes a full electrical upgrade removing knob and tube, updated plumbing, air conditioning on all three floors, refinished hardwood, and a fully renovated European-style kitchen with custom cabinetry and new appliances. The third floor is a self-contained suite with its own kitchen, bathroom, separate entrance, and a private sunroom off the bedroom. Ideal for extended family, guests, or a home office wing, it offers flexibility rarely found in a heritage property. Outside: mature trees, two covered porches, and a large detached 2-car garage. Downtown Galt, the farmers' market, and the Grand River are a five-minute walk away. A heritage dossier prepared by architect Eric Rodrigues, Founding Principal of Boldera Architecture, accompanies the listing, providing both an assessment of the home's architectural significance and a roadmap for its future. More than 160 years on, 54 Bruce Street is ready for its next chapter.
