House with garden and terracePort Hope (Canada)Price : $1,442,400
Introducing Wildwood, built around the year 1850. For the first time since 1978, a magnificent heirloom home situated on 6.87 acres is offered for sale in the lakeside community of Port Hope, which is home to the esteemed Trinity College School. Constructed by politician John Shuter Smith, Elias Smith's grandson. John allegedly constructed racing stables with a track on the property and would address his constituents from the main bedroom balcony on the east side of the house. Orange County, New York is where his grandfather Elias and his wife Catherine immigrated to Upper Canada. With Joseph Keeler's help, Elias had constructed a mill by 1795—the year Colborne was settled. Some of the ten children of the Smiths were with them, including John David, who minutes earlier had built a nearby esteemed property - The Bluestone - in 1834. Wildwood has many exquisitely preserved architectural details that uphold the integrity of the era. Featuring a grand staircase, formal, spacious rooms, four walkouts, a grand terrace, original windows and doors, four coal fireplaces, most with original mantles, soaring ceilings, glorious period moldings, original pine and oak flooring, a kitchen addition, and an original diamond-patterned roof. The property has an inground swimming pool, tennis court, playhouse, walking paths, and mature, lush trees and gardens. A hidden paradise that is not visible. There is a lot of potential in the adjacent stables with loft, which are currently used as a four-car garage. A generator minimizes disruptions in the event of a blackout. An exceptional home, Wildwood is ideal for purchasers who value tradition and the opportunity bring this grand lady back to her former glory. Just 45 minutes away by lake Ontario from Toronto. Pre-home inspection report and package for qualified buyers available.
