Centrally located Historic home with Harbour views
Walk through the massive wood front doors to this impressive historic home and be transported back to the days of grandeur and luxury. Step into the parlour and imagine parties and dances. Admire the marble fireplace and take in the beautiful mouldings and doors. Cross the hallway to the elegant formal dining room and picture a table laden with sumptuous dishes, fine wines and imagine conversations of old.
This beautifully maintained 4331-square foot home on Douglas Avenue blends the charm and character of yesteryear with modern convenience. The woodwork, mouldings, medallions, windows, staircase, and marble fireplaces are stunning. While the large kitchen, with its brick fireplace and walk-out bay window eating area is modern and efficient. The bathrooms have been tastefully renovated to complement the era, but with today’s preferences.
This elegant home opens onto a grand foyer and hallway. To your left, find the parlour. Beyond this stately room find a main-floor bedroom, den or office. Off the hallway, on the right, is the home’s dining room which leads into the kitchen. The large eat-in kitchen has plenty of oak cabinets, tile counter tops, a centre island with breakfast bar and a fireplace. The kitchen entrance leads to a side yard deck. Convenient to all of these rooms is the main-floor powder room and laundry room.
Climb the stunning hardwood staircase to the second floor. Admire the expansive foyer with stunning stained glass skylight and tour the four upstairs bedrooms. Each room has hardwood floor, high ceilings and closet space. There are large windows and gorgeous marble fireplaces. The second floor bathroom has his and hers pedestal sinks, a stand-up shower and jet tub. The floor is ceramic tile.
Off the second floor foyer you’ll find a doorway leading to the massive finished attic. Here you’ll find a unique skylight window that shines onto the stained glass skylight on the second floor. It’s beautiful. This 14 x 55 foot space with arched front yard facing window would be an ideal studio, hobby room, play room or home theatre.
The view is another of the many features of this impressive home. Inside or out, enjoy the sights of Saint John’s skyline and harbour. Watch cruise ships come to port or admire the city aglow at night.
Guests or tenants will enjoy the view from the two-bedroom attached apartment. The apartment has separate entrances, a full kitchen with laundry facilities, a living room, bathroom and two second floor bedrooms with spectacular skyline views.
