Well after our first mortage lender backed out (after signing) and then a SECOND lender backed out....We're proud to announce our new project!* A 160 year old Heritage Home 2 blocks from downtown Guelph!* The lot is MASSIVE for this location.* 66 ft wide x 160 ft*deep.* You guys are not gonna want to miss this project.* Afterall, it's a Marty Gordon project.* We spare no expense,* and cut no*corners.* This relic of a house will be a beautiful home for a family in a few months.* We hope to list it by the end of August.* In the meantime....FOLLOW ALONG and watch this dramatic transformation unfold!* Enjoy!

Following with interest. Love those old homes in Guelph, lived on Queen as a student. Have a 114 year old rental property in northern Ontario, still has all original millwork with original finish and hardwood floors. Gave it a new kitchen and new second bath.

Curious if you encounter original wood shrinkage issues. We're currently dealing with floor sag due to first floor joist shrinkage. PITA and cracking plaster.
