About this home

Get the grace, prestige, and soul of 1800s history without losing a single convenience of modern urban living. Recognized on Whitby's Perry's Plan for its exceptional historic character, this 4-bedroom home in the Gothic Revival style-crafted by local artisan carpenter Michael Marshall-blends authentic architecture with contemporary everyday comfort. Step inside the original front door with its working push bell and fall in love with soaring ceilings, high baseboards, original wide-plank hand-hewn pine floors, and gracious principal rooms-juxtaposed by a breathtaking primary suite featuring reclaimed Madawaska River log floors, a skylight, yard views, and a walk-in closet roughed-in for a future ensuite. Enjoy main floor laundry, updated windows, a late 2024 furnace, a 2025 roof, extra attic insulation, and a custom-fitted kitchen engineered for efficiency. The crowning jewel of this property is a deep, near 1/4-acre fully fenced lot complete with an in-ground sprinkler system, perennial beds, and shade trees perfect for family and pets, ample parking for 3-5 cars or an RV, plus a separate basement entrance offering outstanding potential. Crucially, enjoy NO municipal heritage designation or restrictive covenants for total ownership freedom in a century home. Walk to local parks, splash pads, top public, Catholic, French Immersion, and prestigious private school options, plus the historic downtown Four Corners district for top dining, cafes, pubs, and shops. No need to move far away from the city-easy access to Whitby GO, Durham Transit, and HWYs 401, 412, and 407 makes any commute a breeze.
