Historical Uptown Home With Off-Street Parking
220 King Street East, Saint John
This Uptown Saint John gem is a historical treasure trove, chock-full of delightful woodwork and ornate details that test true to its 1850’s era. French doors, crown molding, soaring ceilings and antique hardware combine with the freshness of white walls, eclectic wallpaper and well-fitting updates to create lived-in, magazine worthy locations to lounge within its walls. The original grand staircase is revealed by two solid cedar doors and flanked by a living room and office space with bookshelf built-ins and a curved window bay. The dining room is lit naturally by its tall windows and charming by its display cabinetry, mosaic fireplace, deep wood cabinetry and bar fridge. An arched wall ushers to the kitchen where a large island sits with its own prep sink and separate stove-top cooking area with a pot filler and double oven. An updated powder room is ideal for guest use and a mudroom extends from the kitchen to a private patio. The fenced backyard is green and flat, includes a shed, gated access to an off-street parking area and basement walkout. The Uptown Heritage area boasts easy walking to Canada’s first city market, a summertime farmer’s market at Queen’s Square, plus new iconic landmarks like the Area 506 Container Village. The front facade has been restored to its original wood, with its paint palette to be completed this spring. The attractiveness this home lends only adds to the lure of Uptown living along our city’s most history-filled streets. | ||||
