arrive, the impression is unforgettable. Sip your morning coffee on the expansive covered front porch as a cool breeze moves through the gardens & mature trees. Step through the original front door-its carved embellishments & bevelled glass a masterpiece of 19th century craftsmanship, & feel the warmth of the home envelop you. Original elements are lovingly retained – hardwood floors that carry 140 years of stories, twin staircases, stained glass windows casting jewelled light, soaring ceilings with plaster medallions, & extraordinary wall trim that newer construction can only dream of. Yet for all its grandeur, the Jeffrey House lives beautifully in the present. Upkeep is worry free-electrical, plumbing, shingles, & insulation are all updated. Meal prep is a breeze in the modern kitchen with granite counters & stainless appliances. Carry the conversation into the expansive dining room & out to the pergola & composite deck for an evening that lingers long after dinner. Later, sink into the hot tub under the stars or gather with friends around the natural gas fire pit on the stamped concrete patio. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom is a true retreat, offering a gas fireplace, dressing room, private laundry, heated-floor ensuite & balcony. Three more spacious bedrooms, a modern main bath, a sitting room & a cozy library with fireplace & balcony complete the upper level. An attached 2 car garage with interior access rounds out the conveniences. Downtown Port Perry, the waterfront & all amenities are just steps away. This is not just a house. This is the Jeffrey House on iconic Cochrane Street. Come see it for yourself. (id:62650)
