598 Downie Street, Peterborough

Some houses simply feel like home the moment you arrive. Set on a quiet, centrally located street, 598 Downie Street is a beautifully updated century home offering the character you hope to find in an older home without the long list of projects you often expect to come with it. Built in 1907, this all-brick 2-storey has been thoughtfully cared for and updated inside and out, creating a warm, comfortable place to put down roots. The freshly painted front porch sets the tone! A peaceful spot for morning coffee, watching the neighbourhood go by or unwinding at the end of the day. Inside, original hardwood, crown moulding, wainscotting and charming details tell the story of the home's past, while fresh finishes and thoughtful improvements make everyday living easy. At the heart of it all is the cozy family room, where exposed brick, hardwood floors and a gas fireplace create the kind of space everyone naturally gathers in. Just steps away, the renovated kitchen offers quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage, with a walkout that carries everyday life outdoors. The back deck and fully fenced yard feel private and tucked away, with mature gardens, greenery and just enough grassy space to enjoy without giving up your weekends to maintaining it. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms and an updated 4-piece bath provide room to grow, while the basement offers laundry, a workbench and plenty of practical storage. And when you want a little more room to roam, Jackson Park and its beautiful trails are close by! Perfect for morning walks, bike rides, time with the kids or simply escaping into nature, all while living conveniently close to the everyday amenities of the city. With 1,423 sq. ft. of finished living space, a new roof in 2021 and extensive updates already completed, this is an opportunity to own a home with history, warmth and personality for under $475,000 and make the next chapter your own.
