Perfectly positioned, the home looks out to the Ganaraska River & is a short walk to Trinity College School, downtown Port Hope and convenient access to Hwy 401/Hwy 407. Inspired by classic Southern architecture, the striking facade has become a local landmark. Inside, elegant proportions, period-inspired details & carefully curated finishes create a home that feels both sophisticated & welcoming. Separately metered, the property includes a 1-bed apartment ideal for extended family, guests, income potential or a home-based business as well as a purpose-built 2.5 car garage W heated floors, raised electrical outlets, an air filtration system & loft storage, making it a dream space for hobbyists, entrepreneurs, or car enthusiasts. The main residence offers unique features such as big beautiful rooms, high ceilings, original pine floors, oversized windows & doors and multiple walkouts to two full-width verandas overlooking the landscaped yard & river.
