Welcome to The McCreery House, Circa 1875. Perched a top historical Port Hope's premier street, this late Victorian Italianate style castle is a striking example of perpetual luxury. Painstakingly restored, this monument to craftsmanship cannot be understated. Double brick construction, wraparound verandah, and a mansard roofed three story tower are a testament to the era. A discerning eye will note the door and window arches being embellished with unique ornamented cast stone, a distinctive feature. Behind this impressive facade you will experience a seamless blend of Victorian grandeur and contemporary comforts. Soaring ceilings encased with intricate crown moulding, original pine floors, and ornate solid brass hardware add timeless charm, while modern conveniences such as heated kitchen floors and air conditioning ensure comfort year-round. Even the green driveway is a perfect blend of form and function, hand-laid by John Shaw-Rimmington. The definition of move-in ready, all major mechanical systems have been upgraded, including heritage shingles, furnace, AC and on-demand hot water. This extraordinary property comes with two separate lots, with frontages on both Augusta and Gifford. The possibilities are as endless as your imagination. It's time you owned a piece of history as distinguished as you are. Welcome home.
