A Heritage Restoration Award winner, the beautiful Canada House is an iconic building of provincial significance and a jewel in the city of St. John's. Built in 1902, this home was extensively and carefully restored (2020-2024), preserving the original features while upgrading to contemporary building code and new materials. A majestic family home with significant income potential, the building is 9000 square feet situated on a large treed lot in a highly sought after historic neighbourhood. Currently, the home is separated into a large main house along-side four self-contained apartments. The main house occupies approximately 5000 square feet, with three floor plus fully finished basement, five large bedrooms, 2 full, and 2 ½ baths, and a hand crafted central sweeping staircase. The new hardwood and marble floors, bespoke kitchen with gas fireplace, 12 foot ceilings, large gilded mirrors imported from Paris, and chandelier from Beverly Hills, are just a few of the features that make the interior of this home truly spectacular. Stacked under the western gable, each of the four apartments are approximately 1000 square feet. With heavy Edwardian house construction, they are extremely quiet, private, have high ceilings, are spacious and, have large windows. With adequate parking, all apartments have separate entrances and views that look over or at mature trees and giant Newfoundland pine. The apartments are newly renovated and, while the apartment spaces are currently used as Airbnb and rentals, all could be easily reintegrated back into the main home. On the grounds, there is a circular driveway, stone fence, a garden shed, and a one car garage with a snow blower shed attached. With all of the upgrades, including exterior, electrical, and plumbing to 2024 code, this is a rare opportunity to live in a spectacular and unique historic home. (id:47421)
