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.
