In 1947, Bancroft's Whitney Martin was the head of what was quickly becoming the leading producer of Canada's hardwood lumber industry. He engaged the most skilled and trusted tradespeople to construct a corporate office in the heart of Bancroft, the building would also serve as his family residence. Contractors were carefully selected for their shared values and passion for superior craftmanship- and they were provided with materials of only the highest grade. The result was structural excellence, both stylish and welcoming. Meticulous restorations, frequent upgrades and a diligent, consistent maintenance protocol have kept this property to the strictest of standards. Ideally located at the edge of town, the grounds are generous and the landscaping compliments to provide a peaceful setting with ultimate privacy. This home has been previously operated as a light-care retirement residence and then a lucrative, award-winning Bed & Breakfast, popular with visitors from around the globe. Most recently 59 Monck has been enjoyed as a private residence with 8 bedrooms, three 3 piece baths and a powder room. Former guests would be pleased to see the B & B reopen but there are many possibilities here for the modern investor.
