52 King Street, Port Hope, ON L1A 2R5

A solid brick home, with one of Port Hope's most sought after addresses. Solidly built in 1937, recent capital improvements include a new metal roof, updated wiring, all knob and tube removed, and a new boiler system for the thoughtfully curated vintage-appropriate radiators (2022-2023). A 1km walk from the grounds of one of Canada's oldest and most respected academic institutions; Trinity College School. An even shorter walk to Port Hope's East Beach, the beautiful walks along the Ganaraska River, Port Hope's busy Memorial Park, and the multitude of shops and restaurants on Port Hope's charming 18th century streets. The main entrance of the home leads from a small gated garden to the main hallway. Bathed in natural light, all principal rooms and bedrooms have a window on two walls. Passing the French doors of the living room to the left, and a study to the right, the wide staircase has a mid-level door hiding a Butler's staircase to the Kitchen. A Butler's Pantry leads from the Kitchen to the Dining Room, separated from the Living Room by another set of French doors. At the top of the second floor landing are four bedrooms. The primary bedroom has an ensuite with shower. The SE bedroom has had its closet converted to a laundry space... brand new W/D included. The two remaining bedrooms, face north west and north east and are separated by the second full bathroom, in which deconstruction had begun for a renovation. The basement has been mostly de-constructed... walls are framed out but no drywall. There is great potential for a separate apartment, Nanny or In-Law suite as the basement is a full walk out with many windows and adequate plumbing access for a bathroom (one partially exists) a kitchen, Laundry, and separate bedroom and storage. This truly is a gem, structurally sound yet waiting to be stylistically re-invented.
