216 Church Street

About This Property

Captivating, 216 Church Street is an exquisite 3 storey heritage home, a classic representation of Queen Anne style architecture, built circa 1898. Enjoy a clear view of Lake Ontario and Victoria Park from the 250 sq. ft. wrap-around covered verandah, a typical style feature of its era. As you enter, immediate comfort flows throughout, from the large principle formal living room with bay window offering views of the Lake, to the spacious dining room, main floor office/flex room, kitchen and butler's pantry and a sun lit family room that offers views of the perennial gardens and historic Carriage House. The second floor continues the old-world charm of the main floor with beautiful architectural details, a large primary suite with bathroom, 3 additional bedrooms and full 3pcs bath. A sure surprise, the finished 3rd level is a great space to get creative, provide a fun and adventurous area for your children, overflow bedrooms for guests or simply provide a hide away to rest and take in the lake breeze in peace. The basement provides space for the laundry room, work bench and ample general storage. The house enjoys access to a private driveway (off King Street). In keeping with its heritage character, this exquisite property also includes a 2-storey 1,000 sq. ft. Carriage House. While once used for a horse and carriage, it now functions as a multi-purpose space providing room for a single-car garage and work bench on the main floor and offering a blank space in the skylit second floor that can be used for many purposes. The exterior historic features of the property have been faithfully maintained and preserved: asymmetrical design, wraparound porch, tall chimney, brick-faced main floor, clapboard upper floors with scalloped shingles. One of a kind in the heart of Cobourg, stunning park and lake views all year round and eye catching streetscape unlike any other niche location in downtown Cobourg's Heritage District.
