This is a rare chance to own a unique piece of history! The Devonshire Lodge, better known as the Low-Martin House, was built in 1928 for $150,000 – a substantial amount at the time, equivalent to roughly $2,630,000 in 2024.

According to the Windsor Public Library, despite changes in ownership throughout the years, it was host to several infamous guests including Al Capone, members of Detroit’s Purple Gang, and Prime Ministers Lester Pearson and Pierre Trudeau. The Devonshire Lodge boasts 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a 1,200 sq ft coach house apartment.

The massive refurbished property sits on an even more enormous corner lot, making neighbouring homes look pale in comparison and catching any passerby’s attention. The home’s exterior embraces its historic charm with distinct windows, arches, stone bricks, a turret, and a multi-tiered roof.

Despite having been renovated over the years, the home still maintains its original charm through detailed craftsmanship as seen in the decorative ceiling accents, intricate trims, and elegant wood accents.
