This is the one you have been waiting for. It's not every day that a century home in condition this fine and in a location this desirable becomes available. This is one of Cobourg's oldest houses (circa 1840) and it has been lovingly restored and beautifully maintained. Its location is arguably the best in Cobourg, at the corner of Henry and Chapel Streets and is within easy walking distance of the beach, harbour, parks, stores, and most of Cobourg's other downtown amenities.
Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms, and an oversized bathroom which also accommodates the laundry facilities.
Built by Edward Tinney, this fine old house had fallen into a state of disrepair by the 1980's when it was restored. Since that time it has been well maintained and improved and in 2003 received an historical designation when it was purchased by the current owners who are largely responsible for its current fine state. Please contact me to arrange your viewing of this one-of-a-kind home. davidlester@sympatico.ca -David Lester

For information about the area: |
Despite the history and character associated with this house, it is nevertheless well designed for modern family living. The main floor comprises a kitchen, elegant entry hall, powder room, large living and dining rooms and what is rare in older homes, a spacious and comfortable family room with a gas fireplace and walkout to the patio and backyard.
The house is loaded with original features including wide plank pine floors, an exceptional staircase, high ceilings and beautiful woodwork. The staircase leads to a landing, with the master bedroom up and to the right, and the other bedrooms up and to the left. The landing area is lit by an especially beautiful chandelier.
Mechanically, this house is in above average condition, with updated wiring, heating, plumbing, roof, windows (new in 2009), kitchen and bathrooms. There is a double detached garage with an oversized integral garden shed. The propety is well landscaped with perennial beds, a sprinkler system and an interlocking brick driveway and patio. A white picket fence makes the backyard "picture perfect"
