184 Forest Rd, St. John's, NL A1A 1E6

This beautiful home is a great example of the Second Empire architectural style that became popular in the late 1800s and is one of the oldest homes along the easterly section of Forest Road. Situated on 0.41 of an acre with sweeping views, it is feels removed from the City while being walking distance to Downtown, Quidi Vidi Village and Signal Hill. The mainfloor has a spacious rear addition featuring an eat-in kitchen and a mudroom with laundry. The living room with propane fireplace has wonderful natural light and overlooks the spacious front yard and Quidi Vidi Lake. The main floor also features a large home office or cozy dining room. Upstairs there are two well sized bedrooms as well as a beautifully update bathroom. A 12x17 detached garage/shed was built in 2007 with an intentional design to match the historic charm of the home. The property extends up the hill behind to house to a vegetable garden and eventually to little-used public walking trails that connect to Cuckholds Cove, Signall Hill and the Johnson GeoPark. With some of the best views of the City's fireworks, this home has been tastefully modernized will retaining its historic charm. (id:51075)
