Welcome to 266 Mark Street in the heart of East City, one of Peterborough's most sought-after neighbourhoods. This charming 1.5-storey brick home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates and an exceptional backyard setting. Offering 3+1 bedrooms and 2 full baths, the layout is both inviting and functional. Step inside to a welcoming front living room with a cozy gas fireplace, the perfect spot to unwind. At the back of the home, the dining room and family room are filled with natural light, framed by expansive windows overlooking the beautifully landscaped yard. This seamless connection to the outdoors is truly the showpiece of the home. The fully fenced 162-foot deep backyard is a private garden oasis, filled with mature perennials and peaceful views. A spacious back deck creates the ideal setting for evening gatherings. The main level includes a bedroom (currently used as an office) and a 4-piece bath. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms and a 3-piece bath. The lower level offers a fourth bedroom (also used as an office) along with versatile rec room space ideal for guests, work-from-home needs, or a quiet retreat. Much of the main floor has been freshly painted, creating a bright, move-in-ready feel. All of this, just steps from Rogers Cove, the Peterborough Lift Locks, the Canadian Canoe Museum, Hunter Street shops and cafés, and scenic trails along the Trent-Severn Waterway. You may even catch the sweet scent of the Quaker factory drifting through the neighbourhood on your evening stroll. Pre-inspection available for added peace of mind.
