file 0058/ Victorian house for 244900

In one of the most wonderful cities in the world - historic St. John's in Newfoundland- there is a beautiful, 3-storey house for sale, wonderful view of Narrows, stone’s throw from George Street, Signal Hill, The Rooms, Basilica, Bannerman Park, the BIS building …. Self-contained, one-bedroom flat on top floor, own entrance on side of house, completely new walls, ceilings, and gorgeous maple floors, new kitchen and bathroom, cleverly-designed over-under washer/dryer closet, rented constantly to Memorial University Medical School doctors-to-be who love it there because it is quiet and peaceful. First registered flat in St. John’s, registered in 1940’s. Below, 2-storey 3-large-bedroom house, hardwood throughout, 5 fireplaces (1 wood-burning), bay windows on front of both floors, high ceilings, original moldings, grand staircase, entrance door with glass sidelights, original rosettes in ceilings – in short, lovely, Victorian character and features. Moreover, there are 2 permit parking spaces directly in front of the house which go with the property – a bonus in a city where parking downtown is at a premium. Imagine spending Christmas in a gorgeous, historic house with ceilings high enough for a 10-ft. natural pine or fur tree, sitting in the glow of the lights of the tree with a natural wood fire burning in the fireplace, turkey in the oven, family dropping by on Christmas eve on their way from the service at the Basilica on the corner or Anglican church just down the street, or opening your door to the Mummers or carol-singers and serving them with warm cider and Christmas cake, hanging stockings on the fireplace … imagine returning to Christmas of long ago …. I will leave it there for now, but suffice it to say that St. John’s is one of the most sophisticated, cosmopolitan cities in the world, but with the old-world charm of any city in Europe. An unbeatable combination, and when you consider the fact that it is one of the few places to live with unpolluted air, a thriving cultural scene of theatre, music, museums and galleries, where children can still receive a bilingual education, and with one of the only universities in Canada which offers degrees in disciplines as diverse as Folklore, Medicine, and Music, to name a few, one would be hard-pressed to find a better place to live. Both spaces currently rented, and so you need not be concerned about mortgage payments for many months to come. The house price is $244,900 Canadian. The bonus accommodation of one week in London, UK, is free.
Traverse the Atlantic when you close this deal! If you buy the house, you will receive a bonus of one week’s accommodation in London, UK, in a gorgeous flat in the heart of the city. Buy a plane ticket, and off you go to visit one of the most wonderful cities in the world!
