The Place

Zoned both residential and commercial, this historic Edwardian property ― the home of Lucan’s original post office and a former boutique bed and breakfast ― is currently being used as a luxury home.

The Details

You can’t get much closer to the heart of a town than its century-old post office building, and here’s a chance to own one right in the heart of small-town Lucan. Built in 1906 and later turned into a bed and breakfast and fine-dining establishment before its current use as a four-bedroom luxury home, this property occupies a choice corner along Main Street, looking out over the heart of Lucan. Inside, it’s got the old-world bones you’d expect: gorgeous hardwood floors, period woodwork finishing, a generous living room with gas fireplace and impressive mantle and wonderful sliding interior doors. Its kitchen is a standout feature, with commercial grade appliances (including the last gas range you’ll ever need) granite countertops and an absolutely massive commercial grade fridge. Upstairs, large bedrooms with hardwood floors are flooded with natural light thanks to the many large windows, and it’s not hard to imagine their use as small studios or office spaces. The property also comes with business potential. Zoned Commercial-1, it could be employed for retail businesses, clinics, professional services and more, making it an attractive option for someone in the market for a unique commercial space.

The Tour

Big Selling Point

Not only is this a piece of Lucan’s civic history, but it’s a home that is truly one of a kind — a luxury home, a place to start a business and a historic property all in one.
