24 MANLEY Street If you've been waiting for a property where character matters more than perfection, and possibilities matter more than trends, 24 Manley Street deserves a closer look. Built in 1886 and thoughtfully expanded over the years, this distinctive property offers something that's becoming increasingly difficult to find: nearly half an acre in town, tucked away on a quiet dead-end street, yet just a short walk to downtown Ayr. Originally created from two lots, the deep property provides exceptional outdoor space and flexibility for whatever comes next. Inside, you'll find generous living and dining spaces, a warm and welcoming kitchen, and a floor plan that has evolved to adapt to changing needs. The main floor features both a convenient powder room and a separate shower room, adding everyday functionality, while multiple flexible rooms offer endless possibilities for working from home, hobbies, guests, or family life. A private upper-level suite—with its own bedroom and 4-piece bath—has successfully operated as an Airbnb, offering continued income potential or an ideal space for multigenerational living, extended family, or visitors (subject to municipal requirements). Outside is where this property truly shines. Spend summers around the 60-foot pool, gather with friends around the fire pit, tend the established gardens, or simply enjoy the privacy and space that are so rarely found within town limits. The detached drive-through garage, expansive gravel parking area, and additional outdoor storage create opportunities for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, or future projects. This isn't a cookie-cutter home. It's a property with history, heart, and the opportunity for its next owner to add their own ideas, updates, and personal touches over time. For buyers who appreciate character, value flexibility, and can recognize the potential of a truly unique property, 24 Manley Street offers a rare opportunity to create something special. (id:203)
