About the property (MLS: 1285432):
A once-in-a-generation opportunity is now on the market. Located in the heart of the Churchill Square neighbourhood of St. John’s, 42 Long Pond Road stands out as a gem among gems. With a land footprint equivalent to two comparable lots in the neighbourhood, this is a unique opportunity to seize a dream … and build it. The existing house was built almost a century ago and has been the home for the same family since 1968. The home has served them well, and while it can be renovated, its condition is such that the property is being sold as-is. The property is large enough (14,500 sq. ft.) to accommodate an ambitious rebuild with room for handsome gardens, relaxing corners and plenty of privacy. The property is lined by a right-of-way pedestrian lane owned by the city, and which is blocked to through traffic. The property is within walking distance of Churchill Square, Memorial University, several schools and places of worship, the Rennie’s River trail and numerous amenities.Few properties in this neighbourhood list in any given year. A highly desirable property like this comes along rarely. Don’t miss the opportunity. The house is a two-story family home. The ground floor features a kitchen, an oversized living room, a den and a dining room, plus storage. Upstairs is the master bedroom with ensuite, another bedroom, and two rooms that can be used as bedrooms or as offices or for hobbies. There is also laundry. The basement is unfinished and concrete-poured and is used for storage. A large shed holds garden supplies. (id:56688)
