5 Solmes Street

Tucked into the peaceful waterfront community of Northport, along the north side of the County, this circa 1836 two bedroom, three bath home offers a rare blend of heritage architecture and thoughtful, contemporary living, just 20 minutes from the heart of Picton. Inside, the home unfolds with warmth and ease. Rich wood tones, exposed beams and wide plank floors create a sense of grounded comfort, while the open concept living and dining spaces flow naturally toward a beautifully designed custom kitchen. Anchored by generous cabinetry, upscale appliances, and an expansive pantry, this is a space built as much for everyday living as it is for gathering. There is a cozy coastal quality to the home, shaped by conscious design choices that balance texture, and material in a way that feels both relaxed and refined. Just beyond, a back porch extends from the kitchen, an effortless transition to outdoor living that feels distinctly County. It is where morning coffee stretches into afternoon conversation, all overlooking mature gardens and uninterrupted views of the Bay of Quinte. Currently configured as a 2 bedroom, 3 bath home, the layout offers exceptional flexibility. A main floor primary suite could be created with ease, seamlessly connecting to the existing bath, an ideal option for those seeking long term, single level living without compromise. Upstairs, both bedrooms offer privacy and charm, each with their own sense of retreat. Outside, the property gently slopes toward the shoreline, where the Bay of Quinte reveals itself in its truest form: clear and endlessly inviting. Known for its excellent boating and fishing, this stretch of water offers a more natural, untouched waterfront experience. Fruit trees, established gardens, and a small barn for storage complete the landscape, while a attached garage provides additional space for a studio, workshop, or future conversion. A home with history, presence and the kind of setting that quietly speaks for itself.
