Description
Step into a rare piece of Port Hope history, where timeless elegance meets modern luxury. Originally built in 1860 to welcome travelers arriving via the Grand Trunk Railway, this iconic landmark began as Blackhams Hotel, became Martins Hotel in 1875, and was later cherished as the Rochester House. T...oday, it has been masterfully restored into an extraordinary single-family residence on one of Port Hope's most coveted streets.Defined by its distinctive trapezoid footprint, this remarkable home seamlessly blends historic character with sophisticated contemporary design. Soaring 9-foot-plus ceilings, intricate crown mouldings, and beautifully preserved architectural details create an atmosphere of refined grandeur throughout.Designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining, the home features five spacious bedrooms and three-and-a-half luxurious bathrooms. A stunning double living room flows effortlessly into the formal dining area and chef-inspired kitchen, complete with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, and exceptional finishes. The expansive principal suite offers a true private retreat, highlighted by a spa-inspired ensuite with heated floors, double vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and a marble walk-in shower. Natural light fills the south-facing sunroom, while cedar-planked decking and professionally landscaped gardens create a serene backyard oasis perfect for peaceful mornings or unforgettable evenings with guests. Ideally situated just steps from downtown Port Hope, the VIA Rail station, boutique shopping, acclaimed dining, and a private footpath to the harbour, this property offers an unparalleled lifestyle in one of Ontario's most picturesque communities.
