Recently featured in the Globe and Mail as house of the week in Canada. Built in 1885, this remarkable residence stands as one of Saint John’s most ornate and historically intact single-family homes. Stepping inside you’re greeted by the home’s grandeur, a beautifully detailed archway in the foyer sets the tone for the period charm that follows. To the left are two impressive parlours with 13-foot ceilings, large pocket doors, stately marble fireplaces, crown moldings, original unpainted woodwork, and tall bay windows with original wood shutters that fill the rooms with natural light. At the rear of the main level sits a spacious kitchen with direct access to the sunroom and private green space, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The lower level reveals a stunning room believed to be the home’s original dining area, complete with a built-in cabinet and a butler’s pantry. This level also includes a laundry room, full bath, office space, and a fourth bedroom with private walkout access to the backyard. Upstairs features two large bedrooms, one with an ensuite, the other with a walk-in closet plus an additional full bath. A smaller front room offers flexibility as a third bedroom or home office. Outside, a paved driveway leads to a large 22' x 21' two car garage, while the Italianate exterior showcases rich stone carvings and ornate detailing that make this landmark truly one of a kind. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Saint John’s architectural history.
