Oakville house was built in 1838 and sits on a double-sized corner lot
Tom and Julie Stanton had outgrown their three-bedroom heritage bungalow on the corner of Reynolds and William streets in Oakville’s heritage district, known locally as Old Oakville.
The house was built by Justus Wright Williams in 1838 and sits on a double-sized corner lot. Off-white siding is paired with four-pane windows encased by black shudders. White pillars and an edgy trim mark the entrance featuring a 500-square-foot covered wrap-around porch. “We actually cut out that section of the boards and framed it in the house as sort of a connection to that era of the house,” Mr. Stanton says. “So that was kind of a fun; sort of little treat that we unearthed by lifting up the floor.”
“When Tom and I got married, I remember saying to him how much I would love a house with a front porch. And we certainly did get a beautiful wrap-around porch on this house,” Ms. Stanton says. While the gas fireplace adds a comforting warmth to the dining room, and the round table in the kitchen seats five just as well, Mr. and Ms. Stanton say they’ve always preferred to eat with their kids at the kitchen island.
