522 GEORGE STREET, Cobourg

About this property

Step into Cobourg's history at 522 George Street. Built in 1860's, as the town itself was beginning to boom, this Georgian gem sits on a prestigious, tree-lined street that serves as a stately corridor from the train station to the historic Victoria Hall. Inside you'll find treasured 19th-century details such as original stained glass, high ceilings, oversized windows, Victorian millwork, and hardwood floors-reimagined for modern life. The living room, anchored by a classic cast-iron fireplace now converted to natural gas, invites you to linger, while the gracious dining room stands ready to host everything from intimate dinners to grand celebrations. A main floor powder room provides a necessary convenience. The bright, updated kitchen offers ample storage and workspace with a granite center island, perfect for casual dining. The kitchen transitions effortlessly into an architectural masterpiece: a family room defined by a warm wood and floor-to-ceiling windows, and a warming fireplace, creating a year-round solarium for quiet mornings or lively gatherings. Upstairs you will find 4 generous bedrooms, a large central bathroom, and the primary suite with an ensuite offering a spacious, light-drenched retreat. Outside, the property transforms into a private sanctuary, featuring sun-drenched decks, a screened gazebo for dining al fresco, and a sparkling inground pool set against a backdrop of mature trees and thoughtful landscaping. A detached garage/workshop is a bonus in this era and boasts a whimsical loft above, perfect for a music space, office or creative studio. This property offers a rare combination of historic elegance and contemporary living. (id:66939)
