Its no longer a WISH to own this stucco over MASONARY Victorian Gothic Revival home located along the Grindstone Creek, marking the entrance to VINEGAR Hill. Be only one of three owners since 1871! Currently on the market for $1,275,000.

This local landmark was built by the Eager family of Eager's General Store (later Weekes Hardware). It is known as The ‘Eager House’ and also ‘Little Woods on Vinegar Hill’.

FRESH FACT: There were apple orchards on this street - prior to its development - and the fermenting apples gave off a vinegar smell in the Fall.


The cultural heritage value of the property lies in its design value as a representative example of the residential Gothic Revival architectural style, as typified by the flanking projecting front bays with high pitched gables and decorative bargeboard.

The property also demonstrates a high degree of craftsmanship, as demonstrated by the ornately decorated front porch with wooden sun and ray detailing.


FRESH FACT: The ornate front porch was a later addition commissioned by James Edward Eager, designed and constructed by well-known Waterdown builder John Reid (1854-1912).
