About this home

Welcome to Verulam House, an 1877 architectural treasure in Peterborough's elegant East City. This historic 7-unit income property (main property with six 1-brm suites and the side annex with one 2-brm suite plus full basement) sits on a generous 0.6-acre lot and seamlessly blends timeless character with quality updates. Inside, you'll find grand 1012 ft ceilings, striking bay windows, ornate moldings, and distinctive craftsmanship. Some suites feature gas or woodburning fireplaces framed by elegant marble mantles. Modern enhancements include three high-efficiency boilers (two Wi-Fi enabled), a copper roof, secure entry, interlocking parking, and fire safety systems. Once the home of a former mayor and a hub for arts and culture, Verulam House retains its creative charm while offering solid rental income. Moments from Little Lake, this property is an extraordinary chance to own a landmark that combines history, beauty, and enduring value in the heart of Peterborough's desirable East City. Coin laundry in the basement for tenant use.
