House For Sale in:
Saint John, NB

Always wanted to live somewhere with a view of the ocean? Here is your chance to make your dreams come true!

With updated kitchens upstairs and down, this is a perfect home for a caterer, in-home bakery or the consummate entertainer, or live in one floor and rent out or AirBnB the other (as has been done for the last year), all with an amazing view of the Bay of Fundy, just two blocks below!

Totally updated and upgraded electrical and plumbing, three mini-split heat pumps for heating and cooling, a brand-new roof for the rear stairwell addition and many new windows perfectly complement the original Maritime Vernacular original and substantial trimwork, French doors, tiled fireplaces, pocket doors, stained glass and built-in bookcases.

Both upstairs and down feature sizable sitting rooms and living rooms with ocean views, as well as formal dining rooms. Most rooms feature 9 ft. ceilings, lending to the homes spaciousness. Downstairs has all-new bathroom tiling and features; upstairs retains the bathroom's original wainscoting, double faucet corner sink and clawfoot deep tub, for luxuriant soaks by candlelight.

Both kitchens are of the eat-in variety. The downstairs kitchen features custom built cabinetry, stone countertops, a built-in folding bistro table and metallic backsplashing, while upstairs is a cavernous kitchen with abundant cabinetry, as well as a separate butler's pantry and cabinetry area. Both living floors have a massive amount of insulation, as well as a secondary forced-air heating system.

In addition to the nearly 2600 sf found between the upstairs and downstairs, the basement offers an additional almost 900 sf of space for work, play or storage - and a separate approx. 120 sf. storage room. It also features multiple heavy duty huge workbenches, hardwired for any project or hobby you can dream of, as well as a floor mounted custom-built knife sharpener and grinder.

Out back, a patio awaits you, perfect for a table and chairs, as well as a separate barbecue area and a firepit with its own roughhewn bench for enjoying those cosy nights gathered around a crackling flame.

Enjoy looking at container ships at anchor or cruise ships transiting the bay by day from the vantage point of the front deck, and doze off to the beacon of the lighthouse and the sounds of the waves crashing the shores of the beach by night. Walk to the historic Carleton Martello Tower or nature's amazing Reversing Falls, or enjoy a stroll at the nearby Irving Nature Park or the Harbour Passage walking trail. You are literally minutes from everything, including these plus two schools (one just down the street), universities, hospitals and plenty cultural and entertainment options.

Only six families have owned this magnificent home in its long life, which are all well documented. From the original shipping magnate and railroad men, to an undertaker, a museum curator and a lawyer, it beckons you to join their number.
