Richard's Notes
Cozy Luxury with an Expansive Steeple Top View of the Town of Port Hope and a peek of the Ganaraska River running through it. I love the layout - and of course, the much featured interiors, just sumptuously delectable. Great for entertainment, or just snuggle up with a good book, both indoor or out - the huge terrace is just to die for! (Built by Phillip Carter of the Capital Theatre fame)
I like the grandeur of the century elegance juxtaposing with the spa-like totally grand luxe ultra modern feel of the specially designed bath room shared by both the Master and the Adjoining Suite. The Laundry Room on the Second Level is a nice touch. The Attic, as featured in the House and Home, would be a phenomenal Study or Great Room.
The lower level is self contained - with a stone Patio sharing the same foot print as the Terrace above. It is currently rented - but ideal for in-laws or out-of-town guests.
Notes on The Region
Tap into what the cognoscenti have known for years, a little bit of insider information if you will - Port Hope has turned into a bedroom community of Toronto. 50 minutes of highway driving east of Toronto on HWY 401, Port Hope is a very unique town in Ontario that has a proactive Heritage Conservatory, yet cultural and economical development friendly. Steeped in history, it was the playground of the Rich and Famous since the early 1800's. That would explain all the majestic estates in the surrounding countryside.
Northumberland County, wherein lies Port Hope, benefits from the growing trend of "city folk" moving out from the hustle and bustle in the "big smoke" to somewhere quieter and safer. Most days there is a multitude of Toronto's diasporas commuting on the Via - or some just drive to the Whitby Go Station and park there for the day.
Northumberland County is only part of this phenomenon of "managed growth", although Port Hope, being the closest, has positioned itself to be a gateway of sort. Port Hope, indeed, is unique with it's water frontage, Yacht, Golf and Country Clubs, developed cultural events and mildly eccentric denizens. We have the Big Apple in Colborne that opens year round attracting millions. And Brighton turning into a well received retirement community - great success in the development of Brighton-by-the-Bay by a REIT. Then Prince Edward County, with picturesque Picton, is turning into the other Wine Producing region. After selling The Hillcrest in Port Hope to an area Spa, I see a few more popping up that provide a variety of alternatives and choices. Another client from the U.K., now a good friend, is setting up another one in Brighton. I am sure this will be quite special - as influenced by her background as a hotelier in Africa and her son as an impresario in the entertainment/music industry in the U.K. and New York. Then there is Trenton and Belleville, led by one of the most dynamic Economic Development Boards in the person of Chris King; and Kingston, which is experiencing phenomenal growth.
