Some homes are simply built-and some are built to last. The Jeffrey House is the latter. Constructed in 1883 for Thomas Courtice & later owned by Sam Jeffrey, this magnificent century home has graced one of Port Perry's most coveted addresses for over 140 years. On a rare double lot on iconic Cochrane Street, it is the kind of property that stops people in their tracks. From the moment you arrive, the impression is unforgettable.A gracious covered front porch overlooks the extensive yard with mature trees. Step through the original front door, its carved embellishments & bevelled glass a masterpiece of 19th century craftsmanship, & you are immediately transported. Historical elements have been lovingly maintained-original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, exquisite stained glass windows that cast jewelled light, & presiding over the massive living room, the breathtaking original plaster ceiling medallion-details that simply cannot be replicated.Yet for all its historic grandeur, this home lives beautifully in the present.The thoughtfully renovated kitchen features stainless appliances, granite countertops & a centre island.The dining room opens through new patio doors to a composite deck with pergola & natural gas hookups for BBQ & firepit, overlooking a magnificent 123x154 ft yard with mature trees.Upstairs, the primary suite is nothing short of a retreat, offering a spa-like ensuite with heated floors & walk-in shower, a large dressing room & second laundry.A sun drenched charming library with balcony is a perfect haven for reading or quiet reflection. French doors from a 2nd bedroom reveal an inviting sitting room. All 3 bathrooms are updated, including a full bath with renewed clawfoot tub on the main floor. An attached 2-car garage with interior access rounds out the modern conveniences. The major work is all done - electrical, plumbing, shingles, furnace. Downtown is a short stroll.This is not just a house.This is The Jeffrey House. Come see it for yourself.
