Descripation

Beautiful Regency Cottage, c. 1849, in downtown Belleville, approximately 350 metres from the Quinte Consolidated Courthouse and within walking distance of downtown, the Bay of Quinte and the Moira River. Set on a landscaped, terraced rear garden featuring existing stone channels and pond infrastructure for a former recirculating waterfall/water feature. A central hallway leads to a large living room with a striking archway, 2 bedrooms and a beautifully updated modern bathroom. The spacious kitchen features a historic fireplace; gas lines are in place at the hearth for an insert, and the stove area is set up for either gas or electric. Kitchen currently has no fridge, stove or cabinets. High ceilings, deep baseboards, original trim and doors add to the home's character. LR and bedroom flooring is 3 1/8" thick BC fir sourced from Corby's Distillery. The interior was taken back to the bare walls and upgraded with 2x6 studding and 6" of insulation in the walls and ceiling. Efficient natural gas hot-water radiant heat with wall-mounted convectors. Step-free throughout the home, offering ease of movement for those using a walker or with mobility concerns. The brick front has been repointed and features a soldier course; the rear limestone section is believed to date from the same period and includes bush-hammered stone lintels and windowsills, wood soffits with original corbels and the mechanicals. Metal roof over the brick section, Fall 2025; asphalt roof over the stone section, 2015. Large shed with newer concrete floor. Enjoy the south-facing stone patio off the kitchen and parking for at least 6 cars. Close to the Bayshore and Riverfront Trails, library, restaurants, galleries, shopping, theatres, farmers' market, bus terminal and hospital. Priced to attract an offer!
