Lawn-Villa is a storied Port Stanley landmark where village history, distinctive character and beautifully updated living come together. Once home to the Port Stanley lawn bowling club and a celebrated gathering place during the Stork Club era, this exceptional property welcomed legendary performers Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday. Today, it offers a rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of the village's colourful past. Inside, pine floors, elegant trim and oversized windows create a warm, light-filled atmosphere. The formal living room features a classic fireplace and bright bay window, while the generous dining room provides an inviting setting for memorable gatherings. The chef-inspired kitchen combines extensive cabinetry, a large island, a bright breakfast nook overlooking the backyard and a walk-in pantry with exceptional storage. A comfortable family room, mudroom, laundry area and powder room complete the main floor. The flexible layout can easily accommodate main-floor living, with a roughed-in bathroom offering the opportunity to create a convenient main-floor bedroom and bathroom arrangement. Upstairs, bright bedrooms offer welcoming retreats, complemented by a beautifully renovated bathroom featuring a freestanding clawfoot tub beneath a dramatic skylight. Designer lighting, custom millwork and carefully selected finishes bring fresh sophistication to the home's enduring charm. Located steps from village shops, restaurants, the renowned Canadian Legion and sandy beaches, Lawn-Villa captures the best of Port Stanley living. Its generous layout, distinctive history and central location also offer an appealing opportunity for a boutique bed and breakfast, subject to applicable approvals. An extraordinary private residence with the potential to welcome a new generation of guests.
