In the heart of Picton, just actions from Main Street, an iconic heritage home has actually been reimagined for modern living– without sacrificing any of its historical soul.
Referred to as the Bigg/Strong House and dating back to 1900, this Queen Anne beauty at 29 Queen Street is an unusual mix of architectural character and modern sophistication.From the outside, the home channels Victorian magnificence with its majestic form and historical detailing. Step inside, however, and you’ll find an interior that has been thoughtfully changed– a smooth union of light-filled spaces, preserved duration aspects, and smooth modern-day finishes.The home
offers five bedrooms and 4 restrooms, including a main-level guest suite with direct access to a screened Muskoka space, the sort of design flourish that makes hosting friends and family simple and easy. Upstairs, a fully different third-floor home with its own entryway brings flexibility, whether as private guest quarters or a stylish rental suite.Specs The home’s restrooms are retreats in their own right, with the primary restroom including a glass-enclosed steam shower, freestanding soaker tub, and oversized windows that let natural light gather. Throughout, restored wood floors, detailed tin ceilings, and a significant STÛV wood-burning fireplace in the dining-room pay homage to the home’s past, while a chef-inspired cooking area– equipped with Bosch, Thermador, and Shape devices– looks extremely to the future.

Our Favourite Thing
The primary restroom strikes the perfect balance of extravagance and restraint. With its steam shower, freestanding tub, and sunlit windows, it provides spa-like calmness without ever feeling over-designed. It’s an area that elevates daily rhythms into something corrective.

Outdoors, the sense of improvement continues with tiered amusing areas, expansive decks, and manicured gardens framing a heated in-ground pool. A removed two-car garage with front and rear access finishes the picture, balancing beauty with practicality.Location is another draw
. Just 2 blocks from Picton’s dynamic core– lined with dining establishments, theatres, and cafés– the home also keeps beaches, sailing, biking paths, and the County’s popular wineries and farm-to-table dining within simple reach. It’s a property that offers the uncommon benefit of keeping one foot in a lively small-town scene and the other in the tranquility of Prince Edward County’s natural landscape.
