216 Church Street

Original Remarks

Captivating, 216 Church Street is an exquisite 3 storey heritage home, a classic representation of Queen Anne style architecture, built circa 1898. Enjoy an unobstructed 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, large principle formal living room with bay window capturing views of the Lake all year round, a beautiful dining room to entertain, main floor office/flex room, kitchen and butler's pantry with multi points of entry and a warming den facing out towards the private yard and Carriage house. The second-floor features all the old-world character much as the main floor with beautiful details, large primary suite with bathroom, 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 or simply 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 off-season 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. coach house. While once used for a horse and carriage, it now functions as a multi-purpose space providing space 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 features 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.
