There's something special about a home that just feels right the moment you walk in and 285 Ridout Street delivers exactly that. Set on a deep, tree-lined lot in one of Port Hope's most walkable neighbourhoods, this charming century home blends character, comfort, and everyday functionality. This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has been thoughtfully updated while maintaining its warmth and original appeal. The main floor offers a bright, open-concept layout anchored by an updated kitchen, creating a natural gathering space for both everyday living and entertaining. The sunroom adds the perfect extension ideal for morning coffee or a quiet place to unwind. A main floor bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests, work-from-home, or convenient one-level living. Upstairs, the second bedroom functions as a private retreat, complete with its own bathroom, loft and cozy character. Outside, the property truly stands out. The expansive, fully fenced yard offers exceptional space, privacy, and versatility; it's perfect for entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the outdoors. A rear deck extends your living space outside, while the detached garage/workshop adds function for hobbies or storage. With bonus rear laneway access and ample parking (parking for 8 cars), this is a rare find so close to downtown. Additional features include a durable metal roof and numerous recent updates: front screen door (2025), fencing (west and south sides, 2022), basement stairs (2022), upstairs closet (2022), duct cleaning (2022), and Bell Fibe service. Located just minutes from Port Hope's historic downtown, shops, restaurants, and everyday amenities, this is an ideal opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone looking to enjoy small town living with charm and convenience.
