Those original wide-plank pine floors and soaring ceilings instantly tell you this isn't a typical century home. It's a Gothic Revival standout on Whitby's historic Perry's Plan, and it's got 4 beds, 1.5 baths, and 2,000 sq ft of living space that mixes 1800s character with modern updates. The primary suite is the wildcard: reclaimed logs from the Madawaska River form the floors, there's a skylight looking out to the yard, and a huge walk-in closet that's roughed in for an ensuite you could add later. You'll get a custom kitchen with modern cabinets and quartz counters, plus main-floor laundry, updated windows, a 2025 roof, and a furnace from late 2024. The deep, nearly quarter-acre lot is fully fenced with perennial gardens and mature shade trees, and there's parking for 3 cars or an RV. There's even a separate walk-up entrance to the basement, which is partially finished and only missing your ideas. No heritage designation or restrictions on this one, so you have total freedom to renovate or expand. Steps from a park, a Tim Hortons at 0.3 km, and downtown Whitby's Four Corners is a quick 10-minute stroll. Schools range from French immersion to prestigious private options like Trafalgar Castle at 1.1 km. Priced at $1,149,000, it's above the neighborhood median of $835k, but given the size, history, and location, it's a solid pick. The market is moving, though: similar places sell in about 59 days, so don't expect to lowball and have it sit. If you're into character and want to make it your own, this is your spot.
