267 Ridout St

Built and named after renowned carpenter Richard Coffin circa 1851 & loved by its small number of owners (the house has had only one owner since it was renovated), this strikingly beautiful home is truly one-of-a-kind. Located in Port Hope's desirable English Town and beside the community's favorite park, this home has received the utmost care. Historically designated w/ an Excellent Pre-List Inspection report, the exterior of the home showcases unique wood ashlar siding and decorative quoins. Extensively renovated in 2006 by Peter Rumgay with an addition designed by Phil Carter. The extra wide plank pine floors installed in the addition date back to an 1827 farmhouse! The two high-efficiency Rumford wood burning fireplaces were designed by John Shaw-Rimmington. The home exhibits an incredible flow with two convenient multipurpose rooms at the main entrance, a lovely dining room, main floor powder room w/ laundry and chefs kitchen that opens to the living room. The modern kitchen features new SS appliances, quartz countertops and an oversized sink. The island is a wonderful spot for conversations w/ ample counter & cupboard space. Huge windows throughout create an extra special atmosphere showering the space with the outdoor landscape. Walkout to the most spectacular wrap-around veranda & backyard w/ sophisticated perennials gardens, native plants, and plentiful spring bulbs. The interlock displays beautiful stone patterns surrounded by mature trees and cedar hedges providing a truly private and outstanding setting.
