About this home
Some homes have character. Others have a story to tell. At 522 George Street, old-world charm, exceptional outdoor living and a unique artisan loft come together on one of Cobourg's historic tree-lined streets, just a short walk from downtown. Built in the 1860s, this Georgian home retains much of its original character, including stained glass, high ceilings, oversized windows, hardwood floors and beautiful millwork. The main floor features a welcoming living room with gas fireplace, formal dining room and updated kitchen with granite island. A bright, inviting family room with warm wood finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows and fireplace overlooks the gardens. Upstairs are four generous bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with ensuite. Outside, mature trees and thoughtful landscaping create a private setting for expansive decks, a screened gazebo and inground pool-ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The detached garage/workshop offers an added bonus: a charming loft above, perfect for an artist, musician, home office or creative retreat. A wonderful combination of historic character, comfortable living and a location that's hard to beat.
