About 55 Cochrane Drive
Woodfield Manor, built in c.1855, this landmark residence was once home to noted civil and railway engineer Samuel Keefer. Keefer, who oversaw the Brockville & Ottawa Railway and the construction of Brockville's historic railway tunnel, left behind a legacy, and this grand estate is part of it. Sitting proudly on an expansive city lot, Woodfield Manor has been carefully updated in recent years, blending modern luxury with timeless character. Step inside the bright and airy conservatory, where motorized upper windows invite a natural breeze. The grand entrance hall makes a statement with soaring ceilings and a stunning two-tone 16-light chandelier set against black-and-white porcelain tile with in-floor heating. The main floor is drenched in natural light with thoughtfully added motorized blinds for comfort. At its heart lies a custom chefs kitchen, a true showpiece featuring a Dacor gas range & built-in refrigerator, fully customized cabinetry & drawers, large waterfall island & seamlessly integrated appliances. A renovated powder room compliments the main floor, while the great room and adjoining living/dining areas with refinished original pine flooring create inviting spaces for relaxation or entertaining. From here, step onto a large covered patio overlooking the private backyard retreat-complete with an outdoor kitchen, in-ground pool, and landscaped gardens. This property feels like your own private resort, peaceful and secluded. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms with refinished original pine flooring. The expansive 6-piece bathroom includes a laundry area, while a modern well appointed 3-piece bath functions perfectly as a cheater ensuite. Adding versatility, a private secondary suite with its own driveway offers two bedrooms, a kitchen, family room and separate laundry. Outside the gorgeous landscaping frames the homes stately facade. A piece of history that has been lovingly preserved and ready for its next chapter!
