Just a five-minute stroll from downtown Port Perry, this 1845 Saltbox sits on an 88.6 by 60.4 foot lot that slopes gently. You've got three bedrooms and three baths (one partial) across 1.5 storeys. The main floor has hardwood throughout, and the eat-in kitchen comes with recessed lighting, butcher block countertops, and stainless appliances. There's a living room with windows facing the front yard, a mudroom with side yard access, and the primary suite includes a 3-piece ensuite and walk-in closet. Upstairs, two more bedrooms have built-in beds that make clever use of space. The roof shingles are from around 2018, furnace and central air from 2008, and the electrical is updated to 100 amp breaker. Outside, the wood exterior fits the era, but you've also got central air and forced air gas heat. No garage, but there's space for three cars. The school, high school, medical centre, and hospital are all walkable. Port Perry's main street with its shops and restaurants is close by, and Nature's Bounty is about 8.5 km away if you want organic. Priced at $699,900, it's well below the median sale price of $869,999 for the area, and homes here move in about a month. This one's got character and modern comfort.
