Property Description
Smith Cottage (ca 1865), an iconic landmark residence in historic Port Hope, after a thorough professional restoration, is now offered for sale. Located on a large town lot on beautiful Augusta Street, the designated Gothic Revival brick home has been completely modernized while preserving the many original features including the double curved exterior staircases that leads to the large covered porch, wide-planked pine flrs, tall ceilings, sash windows, & an original fireplace (non-operational). The property is conveniently located a short stroll from Port Hopes bustling main st w/its designer shops & upscale restaurants, yet walking distance of the VIA station. A classic centre-hall floorplan, the storey-and-a-half, 3 bdrm home was reimagined by an interior designer w/a new kitchen open to the dining rm, a year-round sunrm that overlooks a private, fully fenced & professionally landscaped grdn, an expanded main bathrm w/classic rolltop tub & a separate glass-enclosed shower, as well as a new powder rm on the main flr w/hand-blocked wallpaper. The downstairs features a separate w/o, an office area, as well as a laundry rm & a rough-in for a bathrm. Freshly painted & new roof (both 2022). All systems including heating/cooling, drainage, water&sewer, were replaced during the restoration.
