54 Rennies Mill Road, St. John's

About this property

Welcome to 54 Rennie's Mill Road, a stunning historic home perfectly positioned on the doorstep of beautiful Bannerman Park. Built in the 1880s, this distinguished Southcott residence showcases the architectural charm for which these iconic homes are renowned such as the mansard roof, hooded dormers, deep cornices, and elegant bay windows. The home retains many original features such as wide mouldings, plaster details, fireplace mantels, and softwood floors. Thoughtful upgrades have been carefully integrated to provide modern comfort and efficiency, such as a 5-head mini-split, improved insulation, numerous new windows, a new deck and roof, new oil tank, and PEX plumbing. Enter the bright main foyer, where soaring 11-foot ceilings, exposed brick, and mouldings set the tone. To the left, the living room is filled with natural light and features a fireplace that creates a cozy atmosphere. Original pocket doors lead to the dining room and kitchen that overlook Bannerman Park. Off the kitchen, the deck provides the perfect setting for entertaining relaxation. The second floor features a spacious primary bedroom with walk-in closet, full bathroom, and a second large bedroom. The top floor contains two more bright and versatile bedrooms, currently used as a home office and playroom, and a full bathroom. The full-height basement is developed as a large storage room (potential for a future rec room) and contains a half bath, furnace and laundry rooms. The detached garage provides valuable additional storage, while the private rear yard offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. This is a rare opportunity to own a character home in one of St. John's most sought-after historic neighbourhoods, just steps from Bannerman Park, illuminated trails, downtown amenities, and everything this vibrant area has to offer. No conveyance of any written signed offers until 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 8, offers to remain open until 8:00 p.m. the same day. (id:66939)
