Welcome to 194 Perry Street, a well-maintained and naturally bright three bedroom home situated within southeast Cobourg, just minutes from its historic downtown district.
The long driveway ends at a covered interlocking pad, and to the steps of the covered front entrance is an interlocking walkway. The backyard is quite large and has majestic evergreen and deciduous trees, evergreen shrubs and other perennial plantings – as well as a storage shed at the rear, another storage area attached to the home, a covered back deck along the home, and an interlocking patio area.
The home was built circa 1954, and was originally a bungalow, with the second storey a later addition. The foyer has a French door entry into the main hallway – with the foyer, hallway, the family room, and the living room all featuring hardwood flooring. The entries into the living room and kitchen area are arched; and just off the main entry hall is a wall display niche and a coat closet. The windows throughout the main and upper levels are mainly either double hung or casement, and with multiple exposures, allow for abundant natural light.
The living room features a decorative plaster ceiling with crown moldings, and this very generously sized entertaining space has a oversized south-facing window, and the added warmth of a gas fireplace surrounded by a white mantle and black ceramic-tiled finishes. Off the living room is a mud room with vinyl flooring, cabinetry storage, corner windows, and additional closet space – with this room also having staircase access to the unfinished lower, which has great storage, workshop, and recreational space, as well as a laundry area with washer and dryer – and there is also a separate rear entrance into the home off the stair’s mid-landing.
The family room is quite cozy and has a walk-in closet (this room could also be used as a bedroom) – and also features a French door entry to a three-season sunroom, which has two walls of exterior windows, plus two interior windows between it and the family room; built-in shelves under the south windows; and the finishing touch of pine on the walls (except one), the ceiling, and the floor. The main level also has a 3-pc washroom that showcases upgraded floor and shower wall tiles; a space-saving vanity with a ceramic back splash and glass display shelf; extended height decorative wainscoting; as well as a shower area with glass half wall, an octagonal shaped window with privacy glass, and a mosaic-tiled accent border.
The kitchen is combined with a breakfast/dining area, and this space features vinyl flooring; a broom/pantry closet; a French door walk-out onto the back deck; cabinetry with extended height uppers, under cabinet lighting, ample storage, and a separate servery counter; a ceramic back splash; a stainless steel double sink and French door fridge with bottom mount freezer; as well as an oven with smooth surface cooktop and a built-in dishwasher.
The staircase to the upper level is carpeted, and this level features hardwood flooring throughout, California shutters on all the windows, three naturally bright bedrooms, and a 4-pc washroom that showcases upgraded floor and shower wall tiles; a vanity with under mount basin; as well as a bath/shower area with a soaker tub and a mosaic-tiled accent border along its walls.
The three bedrooms are quite spacious – with both the second and third bedroom have double sized closets with single doors; while the master bedroom features a built-in wall display niche behind the entry door, space for a sitting area, and a walk-in closet.
This home is within the catchment areas of C. R. Gummow Public School (Fr. Imm); St. Joseph – Cobourg and St. Michael (Fr. Imm) Catholic Elementary Schools; Cobourg Collegiate Institute (Fr. Imm); and St. Mary Catholic Secondary School (Fr. Imm).
Within walking distance is Cobourg Beach, Victoria and Donegan Parks, Cobourg Marina, as well as historic downtown Cobourg with its fine restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues – while just a short drive away is the Northumberland and SmartCentres Cobourg Shopping Malls, Northumberland Hills Hospital, community and sports facilities, the VIA Rail Station, and access to Hwy 401.
