About this home

Welcome to this grand 2-storey brick century home, where timeless elegance and modern family living come together in one of Peterborough's most coveted neighbourhoods. Nestled just steps from Crescent Street, Little Lake, Del Crary Park, the iconic fountain, Montessori schools, and scenic walking trails, this is a location that truly embraces the best of city living. From the moment you enter, you'll be captivated by the impressive front foyer, soaring 9-foot ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, and the stunning original staircase that sets the tone for the character found throughout the home. A second staircase off the kitchen adds to the home's historic charm and functionality. The thoughtfully designed main floor is ideal for busy families, featuring a spacious mudroom to keep coats, backpacks, and sports equipment organized, a convenient powder room, and a butler's pantry with a second sink-perfect for entertaining or extra kitchen prep. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms, a full bathroom, and the convenience of second-floor laundry. Step out onto the charming second-floor balcony overlooking the private backyard. In the warmer months it's the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, while in the fall, the colourful tree canopy opens to reveal beautiful glimpses of Little Lake. The fully finished third floor offers exceptional flexibility, serving as a family room, games room, home office, or fourth bedroom. Outside, the private 200-foot-deep backyard is designed for making memories. New decking extends from the kitchen, creating the perfect space for summer barbecues, while the gazebo with ambient lighting invites you to relax and enjoy warm evenings with family and friends. A single-car garage completes the property. Rich in original character, filled with thoughtful spaces, and set in an unbeatable location, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly special century home just moments from Peterborough's waterfront and downtown amenities.
