Home of the Week: A modern farmhouse with an 1850s core in Prince Edward County

by Shane Dingman

The home of Aaron and Caroline Sugarman sits on a little more than two acres surrounded by wineries just west of the village of Wellington in Prince Edward County, Ont.When the Sugarmans bought the home, it was in dire need of renovation. 'It was an old white farmhouse with 1950s additions that were covered in asbestos tile. The back wall of the house was just hemlock boards, with no insulation,' Mr. Sugarman says.'In July of 2020, we moved in and never left. We slept in our Toronto house for one night in 2021.'The bones of the 19th-century structure remain, and in some places have been exposed for the first time in decades.Vivid blue millwork on the island and lower cabinets is topped by natural wood, with stone slabs for prep surfaces. 'You have 360 views, which is awesome when you’ve got the wheat planted and our wild-flowers,' Mr. Sugarman says.A very large veranda sits under a deep L-shaped roof that provides shade for the various outdoor leisure options.

1164 Danforth Rd., Prince Edward County, Ont.
