82 DUBLIN STREET
Peterborough (Downtown), Ontario K9H3A9

In 1926, a 30 year old New York architect, Walter Blackwell (son of famous architect William Blackwell), designed and built an Arts and Crafts Cottage on the banks of the Otonabee River, just off the downtown in Peterborough, Ontario. The Sutton-Deyman designated heritage home (with a 40% tax reduction for heritage status) is a remarkably well-preserved example of the hand crafted, Tudor Revival style architecture in a spectacular setting on a mature, tree-lined street, sitting on almost 200 feet of waterfront on the Otonabee River. The view is looking north up the river with city parkland on the other side of the river. The recessed oak panel door with the original forged iron hinges, the diamond shaped leaded glass windows, the oak-beamed living room ceiling and hand chiseled stone fireplace, take you back to a time when hand craftmanship was an art form. The home has been carefully updated inside, with period correct updates to the kitchen and bathrooms. The prairie stucco exterior is unique and in excellent condition. At almost 2600 sq. ft. above grade and four bedrooms on the 2nd floor, this home easily fits a family situation. The main floor primary bedroom addition (1946) at the back of the house, facing the river, has an adjoining walkthrough closet and 3pc bath. A long single car garage with entrance into the house was added in 1946 as well. The concrete basement is full and high with a walk-up to the backyard for easy storage of bikes, kayaks and outdoor furniture. The river views from the covered patio off the dining room and from the 2nd floor balcony are serene and peaceful. A one-of-a-kind home, in a one-of-a-kind location, is the only way to describe this timeless property. Original blueprints, recent Home Inspection report, heritage designation and history are available. **** EXTRAS **** The taxes shown are with 40% Heritage Property Tax rebate having been applied from the normal tax rate for 2023 of $8134.20.
