This 1849 Regency cottage mixes original character with serious upgrades. The brick front was repointed with a soldier course, and the timber-frame rear section got a metal roof in fall 2025. Inside, walls were stripped to bare studs, upgraded to 2x6 with 6 inches of insulation, and heated with efficient natural gas radiant hot water via wall-mounted convectors. Main living areas have 3 1/8" thick BC fir flooring salvaged from Corby's Distillery, and there's step-free access throughout. You get 2 bedrooms, a modern bathroom, and a kitchen with a historic fireplace. Gas lines are ready for a fireplace insert, and the stove hookup can run on gas or electric, but the kitchen has no cabinets, fridge, or stove. The 61x94 foot lot features a terraced rear garden with stone retaining walls, existing stone channels, and pond infrastructure for a recirculating waterfall. There's a south-facing stone patio off the kitchen and a large shed with a newer concrete floor. With parking for 6 cars, it's a short stroll to Belleville's downtown, the Bay of Quinte, Moira River trails, and restaurants like Earl & Angelos just 400 meters away. Priced at $297,500, it's well below the area's median of $328,250, and similar homes sell fast. Ideal for someone who appreciates history and wants to finish the kitchen to their taste.
