Welcome to one of Unionville's most iconic heritage homes, a truly one-of-a-kind residence circa 1875 where timeless architecture, rich history, and modern comfort come together. Set on an extraordinary private, tree-lined lot overlooking the ravine and river, this remarkable property is famously known as the home featured in the original Gilmore Girls television production. Offering approximately 2,840 sq. ft. plus a beautifully restored 550 sq. ft. detached commercially zoned heritage building, this is a rare opportunity in the heart of Historic Unionville. Authentic architectural details have been beautifully preserved, including original pine floors, two staircases, a wrap-around verandah, and three fireplaces (2 wood-burning, 1 gas). The open-concept living room showcases exposed wood beams, a wet bar, multiple walkouts to the backyard and patio, and offers flexibility, including the potential for a rear addition behind the fireplace. The renovated kitchen features marble countertops, stainless steel gas stove, built-in range hood, integrated Miele appliances, and a walk-out to a private deck. A formal dining room and separate office complete the main floor. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a charming vintage fireplace and walk-out, along with two additional bedrooms and a cozy sitting room. The finished lower level is ideal as a recreation room or guest suite with a 3-piece ensuite and ample storage. The detached heritage building, formerly the village bakery (1910-1984), has been beautifully restored and is fully serviced with heating, air conditioning, electricity, and internet. Its commercial zoning provides outstanding flexibility for a professional office, studio, gallery, consulting space, or home business, with future expansion potential. Just steps to Historic Unionville Main Street, boutique shops, fine dining, cafés, spas, and scenic Toogood Pond. A truly exceptional property offering history, charm, and endless possibilities.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1552/sqft, this property is priced above the Markham average of $950/sqft. I'd want to see upgraded finishes, premium location, or recent renovations to justify this price point. During our showing, I'll point out exactly what you're paying extra for.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Markham's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Markham are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to Markham. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
