Listing Description

A Piece of Port Hope History - With All the Right Updates. Step into one of Port Hope's storied Captain's Houses and feel the difference that over a century of good bones makes. This two-storey century home sits on a level double lot, just a two-minute walk to the waterfront, 10 minute walk to downtown, and is close to so many amenities. At just under 2,000 SqFt of finished space, there's room to spread out. A sizable front foyer with 9ft ceilings and curved staircase opens into generously sized primary rooms filled with natural light from the large windows. You'll love the historic mouldings and trim throughout the home. The eat in kitchen features granite countertops, original tin ceiling, SS appliances (including a gas stove) and flows well for cooking and gathering. A rear entrance mudroom with main floor laundry and powder room adds everyday practicality, and a new front porch and portico make for a welcoming arrival. There are three bedrooms upstairs plus a flexible main-floor room that works well as a fourth bedroom, home office, or studio. The large primary bedroom includes a spacious walk-in closet. A full bath with heated tile floors & quartz counters and a powder room serve the household comfortably. The big-ticket items have all been looked after, including metal roof, windows, mechanicals, and attic insulation, so you can settle in without a long to-do list. Custom window treatments including motorized blinds are all included. This home also offers more storage than you often find in homes of this era. A brand new rear wrap-around deck and fully fenced yard open onto a large, level backyard - a blank canvas ready for your flower beds, gardens or whatever else you can imagine for your space. A home with real history, ready for its next chapter.
