Description

Tucked away on a quiet laneway just off Gower Street, this rare downtown gem offers privacy, character, and sweeping harbour views that feel almost cinematic. With only a few homes on the lane, you’ll enjoy a peaceful, tucked-in setting while still being right in the heart of the city. The setting and views give the property a relaxed, vacation-like feel,

reminiscent of a charming coastal Airbnb retreat. Set on an extra-wide 33.2′ lot, this property captures incredible sightlines from every level, showcasing the harbour, the narrows, and Signal Hill, with a stunning panorama from the upper deck that truly steals the spotlight. Built in 1894 just after the Great Fire, the home carries the warmth and quirks you’d expect from a historic downtown property. Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors throughout the living and dining areas, an eat-in kitchen, convenient main floor laundry, three bedrooms, and a full bath. Thoughtful updates over the years add comfort and peace of mind, including major exterior upgrades completed in 2019 (exterior insulation, roof, siding, windows, deck door, blown-in insulation), along with a French drain and sump pump (2024) and eavestrough (2025), 200amp electric panel (previous owner) and some plumbing convert to pex. More recent improvements include refreshed main floor hardwood, new carpet on the stairs and hallway (2026), and a new front door (2026). The upper deck offers a front-row seat to some of the best views in the city, while off-street parking under it adds a layer of convenience that’s hard to come by downtown. Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, a unique Airbnb opportunity, or a property with redevelopment potential, this one offers a rare combination of location, lifestyle, and long-term value. As per the Sellers Directive there will be no conveyance of offers prior to Tuesday May 12th @ 6:30pm with all offers to be open until 11:30pm. Please note the Vendor is the nephew of the listing Realtors. (id:62650)
