Original Remarks

Nestled in the mature trees of Peterborough's historic "Old Teacher's College" neighbourhood, this midcentury gem is emblematic of an adventurous era in architectural design. The two storey all brick "International Style" design features a charming arched front door, corner windows, and a flat roof. Fully renovated in 2013, with updated furnace, electrical work, appliances, a new insulated roof, and new windows on the main and second levels, this home retains its original warm wood floors, trim, and historical details while enjoying the benefits of modern updates. The main floor contains an open living space on the north side, while the south side has a light-filled kitchen, a main floor laundry, and a 2 piece washroom. Going up the beautiful wide wooden stairs to the second floor reveals 3 comfortable bedrooms and an updated 4-piece washroom. The basement currently serves as a generous storage area, and also features an attached one car garage which opens up to a driveway with space for two parked cars. The spacious back yard is bordered by mature maple trees with a newer premium fence and features tasteful gardens and hedge with a central patio perfect for socializing with friends and family. The restaurants and amenities of downtown, as well as the grocery stores and big box stores of Chemong Rd are close by, with Jackson and Bonnerworth parks just a short drive away.
