177 PIPER Street

About this home.

Once in a while, a property comes along that is truly one-of-a-kind—and 177 Piper Street is just that. Nestled on a private 0.95-acre lot, this charming century home (built in 1878) is perched along the banks of the Nith River, where you can canoe right from your own backyard thanks to brand-new stairs leading down to the water’s edge. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence blends historic character with modern comfort and has been lovingly maintained throughout. Inside, spacious principal rooms include a formal dining room with garden doors that open onto a deck with sleek glass railings—an ideal spot for entertaining or taking in the serene river views. The bright kitchen features abundant cabinetry, a centre island, Corian countertops, and hardwood flooring that flows seamlessly into the dining area. The main floor offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including one with a corner soaker tub and skylight, as well as a warm and inviting family room highlighted by a vaulted ceiling and striking gas fireplace. Upstairs, the private primary bedroom retreat includes its own 2-piece ensuite. Outside, the detached 22’ x 24’ two-car garage provides excellent utility, while the property itself is surrounded by lush gardens, mature trees, and an abundance of wildlife. Whether it’s paddling down the river, birdwatching, riverside relaxation, or paddling down the Nith, this home is a rare opportunity to enjoy nature and history in one of Ayr’s most desirable locations.

How this listing prices against Ayr.

Ayr accounted for 5 of North Dumfries' 7 sales and had 20 active listings, making it the clear centre of activity in the township this period. The neighbourhood's $840,697 average price sat below the citywide average, but its $690,000 median matched the city median, which suggests most demand is concentrated in the mid-market while a few higher-priced township sales lifted the overall North Dumfries average. Homes here took 33 days to sell, a bit slower than the city average, but they still achieved 96.23 percent of list, showing buyers are active when homes are priced close to market. With both freehold and condo inventory available, Ayr is offering more choice and a more layered market than the rest of North Dumfries right now.
