Ideally located midway between Toronto and Kingston, in one of Ontario's most beautifully preserved historic towns, this distinguished residence is set within Port Hope's cherished Englishtown neighbourhood, just minutes from downtown shops, cafés, and restaurants. Local historical records share that this grand Classic Revival home was built in 1857 (MPAC dated at 1890) for prominent early citizen John Lynn. This stately brick home rests on a limestone foundation and follows the classic centre-hall plan favoured by prosperous families of the era. The balanced façade, tall windows, leaded glass details, and grand front verandah reflect enduring craftsmanship and timeless character. Inside, original features remain throughout, including crown mouldings, large bright windows, an original fireplace, and numerous period details that speak to the home's mid-19th-century origins. Recent improvements include a brand new boiler, installed in January 2026. Offering over 3,000 sq ft across two storeys, the home includes four bedrooms, two baths, a separate in-law suite, detached garage, garden shed, and an inviting front porch. A rare opportunity for thoughtful restoration and reinvention, this beautiful heritage property is ready to be re-imagined by those with vision. An Open House is scheduled for Saturday, January 24 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Come visit this remarkable property.
