For over 200 years, Walton Street has been one of historic Port Hope's major thoroughfares, acting as the community's commercial and social artery; lined with two and three-story buildings where the ground floor was for business and the upper floors were for residential living. It would not be an exaggeration to say that at one time or another Walton Street was the street of choice to a multitude of shops, solicitor's offices, general stores, and even a Hotel and an Opera House, and it's in this milleu that 135 Walton Street was built c. 1875. The Ross Family has owned the property since 1952 and for the past 3 consecutive generations and until recently they have operated a tranquil, reverent funeral home, and offered their soothing presence to generations of Port Hope's bereaved citizens. It's now 2026 and 135 Walton Street has recently been introduced to the Marketplace at a very affordable price, especially when one considers that the purchase price includes a spacious 3 bay coach house and a large lot. The asking price makes the offering a matchless bargain, one that savvy builders, contractors and entrepreneurs searching for a distinctive property to refurbish and add to their portfolio would not want to miss. So as the old idiom goes "if you snooze, you lose" and a rare opportunity to own one of historic Port Hope's landmarks will have vanished...don't hesitate, act now! (id:62692)
