In recent years Maclean's magazine named Caledon the safest town in Canada to live. Alton is a little village within Caledon and is known for its community feel and amazing school (Alton P.S.). Dubbed the school of the arts for children from Jk-Grade 6, they put on a Broadway type show every year that attracts people from all over the area.
It should come as no surprise, then, that this village has a historic mill, too. Like so many small towns which lie outside Toronto’s urban cityscape, the bones of this industrial complex are tucked out of sight from passers-through, and quietly attest to the existence of the once thriving Beaver Knitting Mill.
But Alton Mill is far from the crumbling, derelict building you might be imagining. Instead, it has been resurrected from the annals of history, and is now an oasis of culture surrounded by babbling streams and the kind of vivid scenery that can only be found in rural places like Caledon.
The home itself is a fantastic place at an affordable price. It is a 4 level back-split with 3 bedrooms, and a fully finished basement. It has a very spacious family room complete with fireplace. The dining room has a walkout to a 73.87' x 203.10' lot with no neighbors behind.
