At a certain time of life there is a changing of the guard, so to speak. This is that time and this means a big opportunity for the next owner to be able to enjoy this rarely found gem. This home had the same owner since the early 70’s and was originally built in 1955. A Classic Canadian Brick bungalow style still very popular and purposeful today. The most unique and rare part of this is the size of the land it is situated on.
A lot size more scarce each day. Surrounded in natures’ splendour. This home is sited on a 76ft x 200ft lot surrounded by impressive, old-growth trees & perennial gardens, providing illusive Privacy.
The home has been enjoyed by a lifetime of love and family. It is very well kempt as evidenced by the Home Inspection report we just has done as a pre-inspection to selling – available for your review.
This home features updated furnace, copper wiring and newer windows and shingles. You can move in and relax…and plan your edits to the garden and landscape — or maybe you want to just light a back yard small bonfire over thanksgiving weekend to toast marshmallows around and decide if you like the natural trees and plants just fine as it is.
Take a short stroll to the Lake and skip stones from Lookout point. This is the perfect time to purchase this home and watch as the leaves bring their Autumn colourscape.
This home is Vacant & move-in ready. It can be easily enjoyed as is or it provides a clean slate ~ a sweet backdrop for your upgrade preferences. You can afford to go more high end on your upgrade materials with an easy-sized house as it is less materials cost…but many may just like to keep it simple and skip the reno altogether. Some may go even bigger with their plans and add on to this lovely home since you can always change a home but you can rarely find this much of a private lot in the Town of Cobourg anymore that allows for expansion of a larger home.
Enjoy the richness of the Refinished Oak flooring along with newly-laid Laminate flooring in the bedrooms and lower level. AFully carpet-free home. The quaint, crisp, compact & well-kempt kitchen jas a pretty window to the yard and walks out to a large south facing deck overlooking the park-like setting.
The Side entrance leads to a fully finished LL inlaw unit featuring just-installed Laminate flring, a 3pce Bath, 2 BRs & a kitchenette – which brings the potential for Apt. to offset the cost of living (all requirements to be check with the town of course for any codes and retrofit as needed) Or simpley enjoy the lower level as bonus Rec Room and added bedrooms and bath space to your family.
This sought-after location is just a happy 5 min stroll to the Lakefront, Parks, Great Schools, Trails, Playgrounds, Convenience Stores. It is about a 2 km walk to Downtown amenities, beach, marina. A perfect bungalow in an enclave neighbourhood of low-density, maturely-landscaped homes on a “dead end” street w/ low traffic.

This exhibit opening was at The Art Gallery of Northumberland in downtown Cobourg. The extremely enjoyed and well-attended Opening was Saturday August 12th at 1 p.m.

6 New Businesses Open in Downtown Cobourg Today! Ribbon Cutting Events Attended!
Attended almost all the 6 businesses’ Ribbon Cutting 🎉Grand Openings in 🛍️ Downtown Cobourg this morning. Lots of great conversations and happy energy! Especially pleased for my client @Compassionate Heart Home Care for filling a very needed void in the area. If you are needing home care advice or PSW support be certain to reach out staff for their compassionate guidance. 🙏🫶 Some new owners literally just had pulled all nighters to be sure they can open today ~ a testament to their energy & likelihood for success since nothing will stop their drive! (Hope The Fabled Bean gets some rest soon ☺️ ) Their iced latte shocked me at first sip ~ it was soooo good. You can really taste the difference of the roast in their brew! Wow factor! I did not get to Mending Roots opening – or have a chance to sample Lalie’s & The Dutch today but I’ve enjoyed them so much at the Farmer’s Market before. I love how they transformed the former Dutch Oven space. Clothier retailer “Bon Bon” is a trip and I cannot wait to head back to the 90’s to shop there🛍️🙃 The gentlemen from Sense Home & Garden were looking as spectacular as their beautiful building did. All very regal, gracing the Main Street. I’m sorry I missed out on Mending Roots..but will drop by to learn more about their business soon. The paparazzi were all around – me being one! Hope you enjoy the random shots. There are better, more official photos to be shared around I’m sure. Due to schedule conflicts I missed the last 10 or so Grand Openings in the recent couple of months (sadly as many were my commercial clients.) I was very happy to be able to participate today. Its always a joyful time to wish new businesses well on their launch, which I used to do on behalf of the Chamber and/or when commercial clients launched. Nice to see the Mayor, Councillors, DBIA, and business partners out to support. Be sure to consider Downtown Cobourg as it just keeps getting more vibrant & successful. Many fantastic new businesses have launched. You may be quite surprised! Congratulations to all in this exciting phase. Thanks for letting us all welcome you.

Urban Containment vs Bill 23
Another perspective on Bill 23 is in the article I am sharing. Thoughts? Read the article linked below this post.
The lack of affordable housing in Southern Ontario is a major problem and a hot Real Estate topic. It is so important we discuss and hear each others opinions and find solutions…so I am sharing ALL sides…in hopes people think of all perspectives and have better discussion and get to an actual solution vs. a theory that is not practical. We need to help find solutions for housing affordability – and sustainable growth. There are many controversial perspectives on this but it is an important discussion to be had about housing — and we need to consider pros and cons of all of this…and/or find a better solution. I am open to all perspectives as I consider this new “More homes built faster” Act Bill 23.
I think we can all agree we love greenspace and do not want to mess with tree canopy and ruin water table or lakefront and have more soil erosion if allowed to build closer to those areas. We all enjoy elbow room from neighbours — I would presume. Most appreciate preservation of built heritage. Many do not want looser rules that would suddenly allow a 3-plex built right next to their single family detached bungalow… because it disturbs the environment they live in. However — we cannot just assume it will sort itself out without practical solutions. Where do we build and provide more affordable shelter for people who want to be here? There is clearly a supply and demand issue – and people want to live close to family friends amenities or where the concentration of jobs are. We have lots of land in Canada but people naturally migrate to major cities and outskirts for those reasons…where there is only so much land and only so many places to build a home or apartment. There are maybe some facilities that can be repurposed into housing if they are not being used presently – changing zoning to allow commercial or industrial to become residential – brown space converted…but there is also only SO much of that available. What are your ideas or thoughts on how to solve this. Affordability and supply is an ever growing problem as we have labour shortages for builders, high interest rates and immigration numbers increasing. The theory of keeping greenspace and preserving status quo is nice but what else can we do if we do not adjust that — what are good solutions that would work? Let’s think like sustainable but practical Urban planners.
“…International research shows that policies of urban containment, such as greenbelts and growth boundaries, are associated with large price increases. The eight-nation Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey that I have been publishing for 18 years showed, in the last pre-pandemic year (2019), that all markets with severely unaffordable housing had urban containment policies.
The cost of actually building a house does not vary that much across Canada. The Altus Group’s surveys show Toronto construction costs to be about one-third higher than Winnipeg’s. Yet houses in Toronto cost more than 250 per cent more than those in Winnipeg, with much of the difference being due to land and land-related costs. As the numbers suggest, Winnipeg does not engage in market-distorting urban containment.”
