64 Augusta Street

Original Remarks

On a tree-lined street in the heart of Port Hope sits The Cawthorne House, a Victorian interpretation of Georgian architecture, built in 1852 and thoughtfully preserved as a designated heritage home. Step inside to a gracious front foyer where period craftsmanship is on full display. Extra-wide trim, soaring baseboards, and crown moulding that carry through the home. The living room, anchored by an ornate fireplace surround, is bathed in natural light from multiple windows and offers room for more than one inviting seating area. It's the kind of space where conversations linger and evenings stretch late. The dining room pairs historic charm with practicality, featuring built-in cabinetry and a charming window seat. From here, the sun-filled kitchen embodies the essence of balance. Modern convenience seamlessly woven into the heritage character. With floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a center island with breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, and a dedicated coffee nook, it's equal parts functional and cinematic. A walkout extends the kitchen into the outdoors, where entertaining feels effortless. The main floor features a laundry room and a powder room, rounding out this level. Upstairs, the primary suite offers quiet elegance with dual closets and an ensuite designed for both style and function, complete with a dual sink vanity and a glass shower. Two additional bedrooms, one with a fireplace surrounded by built-in and a full bath. The finished loft creates flexibility for a cozy family room, home office, and guest retreat. Outside a pergola creates a charming spot for outdoor cooking, while the detached garage adds both function and flexibility. The backyard feels like a secret garden, with winding paths, lush mature plantings, and an intricate patio that flows between open-air dining and a covered retreat. All just steps from downtown Port Hope, renowned for Ontario's best-preserved heritage main street. This is more than a home; it's a story waiting to be lived
