50 Mill Street W, Centre Wellington, ON N0B 1S0
In the heart of historic Elora, where cobblestone charm meets the gentle flow of the Grand River, stands a property that captures the very essence of this beloved village. Surrounded by artisan shops, cafés, and galleries, this stunning building is more than a place of business; it is a cornerstone of opportunity in one of Ontario's most picturesque and thriving communities. Set along the river's edge, the rear of the property opens to a raised deck and stone patio offering an extraordinary vantage point. Here, the sound of rushing water and views of the Grand create a setting that draws people in and keeps them lingering, an atmosphere ideal for a destination business or a peaceful retreat for those who call it home. The main level features a beautifully maintained commercial unit perfectly suited for a boutique, gallery, or café. With high visibility and steady foot traffic, it offers the ideal stage for an entrepreneur or investor looking to establish a lasting presence in downtown Elora. Above, two separately metered two-bedroom apartments provide additional versatility and income potential. These bright, inviting spaces are rich with character and offer views that celebrate the river and the surrounding heritage architecture. Owning a property that combines commercial and residential spaces opens a world of possibility. Operate your own business below while living steps away, or lease both levels for a steady multi-stream income. The configuration offers flexibility to evolve with your goals today, tomorrow, and years into the future. Few properties balance such beauty, functionality, and potential. With its riverfront setting, historic character, and prime location within Elora's lively core, this is an opportunity to invest in a building that embodies the soul of the village itself - creative, enduring, and full of promise.

Where this property is
Where this address sits, matched against open government data.
Estimated from the house-number range along this road: the right block of the right street, not the exact building. No address file publishes this house.
Schools
The school boundaries this address is inside, and the schools nearest it. Boards redraw boundaries and cap programs — confirm with the board before this affects a decision.
Other schools nearby
By distance from this address, not school boundary — a school 400 m away can be in another school’s attendance area.
| School | Level | Distance | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| St Mary - Elora Catholic Elementary School Wellington CDSB | Elementary | 984 m | / 10 82% met the standard |
| Elora Public School Upper Grand DSB | Elementary | 1.1 km | / 10 82% met the standard |
| Salem Public School Upper Grand DSB | Elementary | 1.9 km | / 10 86% met the standard |
How the rating is calculated
EQAO — Ontario’s testing agency — publishes, for each school, the percentage of students meeting the provincial standard in Grade 3 and Grade 6 reading, writing and mathematics. The rating is the average of those percentages divided by ten. A school where 72% of students met the standard rates 7.2 out of 10.
Nothing is weighted or adjusted, and schools are not ranked against each other. Where EQAO withholds a result to protect the privacy of a small group of students, that measure is left out rather than counted as zero — so a rating built on fewer than six measures says so.
What it does not measure. It is one year of standardised testing in three subjects. It says nothing about teaching, programs, or whether a school suits a particular child, and it tracks neighbourhood household income closely enough that it partly measures the neighbourhood rather than the school. Treat it as one figure among many.

If you rented it out
How this is calculated, and what it leaves out
Canadian fixed-rate mortgages compound semi-annually, not monthly, so the monthly rate here is (1 + rate/2)1/6 − 1. Most calculators use rate ÷ 12, which is the American convention and overstates the payment by tens of dollars a month.
Below 20% down, default insurance is mandatory and is added to the loan rather than paid at closing: 2.80% at 85% loan-to-value, 3.10% at 90%, 4.00% at 95%. It is unavailable at or above $1.5M, which is why 20% is a hard floor there.
Not included: vacancy, property management, capital repairs, income tax, and the fact that a lender qualifies you at a stress-test rate rather than the one you are quoted. This is arithmetic on the numbers above, not a mortgage approval or an opinion of what you can afford.
