About This Home

47 East Main Street

Prominently situated on a half-acre corner lot along East Main Street in the Village of Canton, this stately Victorian residence offers 4,580 square feet of living space, exceptional period craftsmanship and extensive modern improvements. The home offers six to seven bedrooms, four full bathrooms and one half bath, including two main-floor rooms with private full bathrooms: a spacious primary suite and a separate room suitable for an office, study or additional bedroom. The property is within walking distance of St. Lawrence University and downtown Canton. Reflecting the architectural elegance of the late Victorian era, the home's exterior features decorative gables, projecting bays, ornamental millwork, a full-facade covered front porch and a separate covered side porch. Inside, much of the original architectural detail remains intact, most notably the exceptional central staircase with paneled woodwork, newel posts and balustrades, curved walls, open landings and a built-in bench. A substantial amount of the original woodwork, including doors and moldings, has been preserved, and hardwood flooring extends throughout much of the residence. The former parlor features distinctive ribbon-pattern hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry, a fireplace and a projecting bay. Upstairs, a broad gallery with ribbon-pattern hardwood flooring leads to five bedrooms, including an exceptionally spacious rear bedroom, and two full baths. The home's size and configuration have also allowed for occasional use as a bed-and-breakfast. Extensive improvements completed in 2020 include complete replacement of the electrical and plumbing systems, new ductwork, natural gas furnace, fully renovated bathrooms, sheetrock and added insulation. The expanded driveway, freshly paved fall of 2026, provides ample parking and access from both Main and Crescent Streets. In 2025, the former carriage house/two-car garage received a new roof and roof framing, concrete slab, underground electrical service, bay doors and a full staircase to the upper level.
