Step into a piece of Cobourg's rich history with this exquisite residence,masterfully constructed in 1875 by Thomas Harvey. This distinguished home has maintained its 19th-century architectural grandeur and features 4 spacious bedrooms, each exuding classic charm and 3 well-appointed bathrooms.The steeply pitched roofs and pronounced gables are emblematic of Gothic Revival design, adding to its stately presence while the graceful yet slender windows with pointed arches allow for abundant natural light, enhancing the homes warm and inviting ambiance.The generously sized living and dining rooms feature original hardwood floors,soaring 10 ft ceilings and period-appropriate fixtures, perfect for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. The larger main living room offers a fireplace, a south-facing bay window and french doors leading to the front veranda, while the smaller sitting room across the hall currently serves as a music parlour with another fireplace and west-facing bay window.The grand staircase and bannister of this centre hall plan leads to an equally impressive 2nd level where you'll find the oversized primary suite, convenient upstairs laundry, a spacious den, guest suite with 3 piece ensuite bathroom and main bathroom complete with claw foot tub. The bonus 3rd floor attic space is currently unfinished & used for storage but would make a great studio or possible extra living space.The convenient central location offers easy access to all town amenities,including boutique shops, gourmet dining, the VIA station and the picturesque waterfront. The community's rich heritage and welcoming atmosphere make 486 George St an ideal place to call home. It stands as a testament to timeless design and enduring quality, presenting a unique opportunity for the discerning buyer.
