243 Ridout Street, Port Hope, ON L1A 1P4

About this property

A rare combination in historic Port Hope: a spacious, light-filled century home on a truly private ravine lot, within an easy walk of historic downtown. Behind its traditional front verandah, nearly 1,840 square feet unfolds with far more space than the streetscape suggests - and an impressive surprise at the rear of the home. The bright foyer and generous living room feature tall original windows with distinctive blown glass, while the adjoining dining room continues the home's original pine flooring before leading into the updated kitchen and substantial family room beyond. Here, wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors draw in natural light and frame the mature trees and ravine, while a gas fireplace anchors the room. With the kitchen open to this expansive living space, the back of the home feels both relaxed and dramatic. Also on the main floor is a large bedroom with an adjoining two-piece bath and laundry area - an increasingly sought-after feature for buyers looking for the convenience of main-floor living. Upstairs, original wide-plank pine floors continue through the hall, bedrooms and dressing area, complemented by an updated four-piece bath and several newer windows throughout the home. Outside, the privacy is exceptional. Neighbouring homes are almost entirely out of sight from the backyard, with mature trees, the depth of the property and the ravine creating a remarkably secluded setting.
