194 Cobourg Street, Lower Town

Nestled in the heart of historic Sandy Hill and just steps from the scenic vistas of Strathcona Park, 194 Cobourg Street is a spectacular 1902 heritage residence that flawlessly marries timeless architectural character with uncompromising modern luxury. Several upgrades to this three-storey since 2018, culminating in a total kitchen transformation completed in April 2026 featuring premium new appliances, custom lighting with ESA certification, and brand-new windows. As a delightful nod to its historic roots, the kitchen retains a rare and charming bonus addition: a secondary staircase leading directly up to the second storey, just like they had in the old days. The home's rich history shines through beautiful new hardwood flooring (2019-25) spanning all three levels, stunning custom heritage bay windows in the primary suite, and a cozy living space anchored by a high-end Valor Legend gas fireplace (2021). No detail has been overlooked, from the updated bathrooms on the second (2021) and third floors (2024) to the fresh, designer paint and stylish new light fixtures that illuminate the home throughout. New inserts and carpet runners on stairs (2024). Beyond its visual elegance, the property boasts premier structural integrity and mechanical upgrades rarely found in a historic home. The basement is a testament to master craftsmanship, featuring a newly repointed west stone wall (2024), industrial-grade Chill Epoxy flooring (2022), and a state-of-the-art climate system powered by a high-efficiency 4-zone IBC furnace(2020), an owned Rinnai on-demand hot water system (2018), and a manifold/pump system primed for radiant-in-floor heating (2023). With a completely updated PVC plumbing stack (2021), new storm doors on all external entries (2022-24), a lifetime metal roof, and a freshly restored front porch with custom-milled posts and rails (2025-26), the exterior is as sound as the interior. Complete with a rear interlocking stone parking pad (2022). A must see!
