Tucked away in the heart of Port Hope, just steps from Trinity College School, this enchanting property feels like something from the pages of a storybook, complete with a private backyard retreat featuring an inground pool, charming pool house, and detached garage. Begin your mornings in the enclosed sun porch, coffee in hand, listening to the rain. Inside, a spacious foyer welcomes you with crown moulding, timeless character, and a carpet-free layout that flows throughout the principal living spaces. Glass French doors open to the front living room, a cozy place to gather or the perfect home office. The dining room is made for long dinners that stretch into conversation, with elegant wainscoting and extra-wide trim adding warmth and charm. At the heart of the home, the kitchen offers rich wood cabinetry, generous counter space, a tile backsplash, breakfast bar, and a walkout that makes summer entertaining feel effortless. Just beyond, the inviting family room, framed by natural wood trim, opens directly to the backyard, seamlessly connecting indoor comfort with outdoor living. A convenient laundry room and main floor bathroom complete the level. Upstairs, the primary suite is a peaceful retreat with a walk-in closet and spacious ensuite, accompanied by two additional well-appointed bedrooms. Outside is where this home truly tells its story. Spend warm afternoons beside the sparkling inground pool, unwind beneath the shade of mature trees, or gather around the fire pit as the evening settles in. A secluded deck creates the perfect setting for alfresco dinners, while perennial gardens, lush greenery, and an impeccably maintained hedge wrap the property in complete privacy, creating the feeling of your own secret garden. Perfectly situated moments from Trinity College School, everyday amenities, and convenient access to Highway 401, this home offers not just beautiful spaces but a beautiful way of living. (id:60164)
