Own a piece of history! The Village of Madawaska owes its existence to The Ottawa, Arnprior and Parry Sound Railway, and back in the day when lumbermen and railway barons ruled the land, the most famous of all was J.R. Booth. This fully tenanted four unit apartment was once Booths Madawaska office, just steps from the location of the rail yard and roundhouse. The roundhouse is but a memory captured in old photographs and the once thriving rail line is now a busy recreational trail. But Madawaska remains, as home for many residents, businesses, a picturesque stop for travelers along Highway 60 through the Madawaska Valley, and a haven for tourists. The building is a century old however Booth had it well constructed with solid bones. There are two, one bedroom units, one two bedroom unit, and a two level, four bedroom unit, plus a shared laundry facility in the basement. An upgraded heating system consisting of an outdoor, wood fired boiler, provides ample heat through heat exchangers in two forced air propane furnaces. There are two hydro services, 100 and 200 amp. The detached garage houses the outdoor boiler and has plenty of space to keep the firewood dry. Steps to the Municipal Office and Community Centre, The J.R. Booth Park with sandy beach and boat launch on the Madawaska River, a main recreational trail and minutes to Bark Lake for camping, boating and fishing.
