453 Conception Bay Highway

A historic property looking out over Holyrood Bay brought back to life. Nestled on a large piece of land with mature trees, built in 1899 by Captain John Lewis, directly across from Holyrood beach, it is a focal point in this area for over a century. Newly renovated, the home had the entire main floor removed, the foundation strengthened and sealed, the base floor structure stabilized and newly supported, insulated, levelled and sealed. Both sides of the main floor have been opened up to expose the ocean views from the back of the home. Brand new Ikea kitchen, in floor heating in kitchen and upstairs bath. State of the art Navien propane fueled tankless water heater, new LG mini split. An incredible sunroom has been created in the back of the home that is south facing the garden, private and stunning. Original features of the home that remained from past renovations, interior front entrance with beveled glass and stained glass windows and the original staircase. All new vinyl windows, siding, shingles, large back and front decks, both with accessibility ramps, and 2 new exterior doors. Upstairs has three large bedrooms, a completely newly created large main bathroom with original long clawfoot tub, refurbished antique dresser/sink and a breathtaking large walk in shower. Owner brought the original old wall boards to life, left open and exposed in some areas, as well as hand picked and finished original boards used for shelving in the kitchen and closets. Sit and watch the bay and horizon, sunsets and all the activity in and around the water, sea birds, whales, dolphins and tuna jumping. The Holyrood marina is just next door so in the summer the bay will be filled with sailing boats. Walk across the street to catch your own capelin, cod and squid from the beach. Close to the post office, fire station, gas stations, liquor store, food service and a municipally run swimming area. Across the street is the famous Station Diner, recently added bakery and ice cream bar. (id:7637)
