177 Piper Street

Once in a while, a property comes along that is truly one-of-a-kind-and 177 Piper Street is just that. Nestled on a private 0.95-acre lot, this charming century home (built in 1878) is perched along the banks of the Nith River, where you can canoe right from your own backyard thanks to brand-new stairs leading down to the water's edge. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence blends historic character with modern comfort and has been lovingly maintained throughout. Inside, spacious principal rooms include a formal dining room with garden doors that open onto a deck with sleek glass railings-an ideal spot for entertaining or taking in the serene river views. The bright kitchen features abundant cabinetry, a centre island, Corian countertops, and hardwood flooring that flows seamlessly into the dining area. The main floor offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including one with a corner soaker tub and skylight, as well as a warm and inviting family room highlighted by a vaulted ceiling and striking gas fireplace. Upstairs, the private primary bedroom retreat includes its own 2-piece ensuite. Outside, the detached 22' x 24' two-car garage provides excellent utility, while the property itself is surrounded by lush gardens, mature trees, and an abundance of wildlife. Whether it's paddling down the river, birdwatching, riverside relaxation, or paddling down the Nith, this home is a rare opportunity to enjoy nature and history in one of Ayr's most desirable locations.
