About the property (MLS: 1291807):
Welcome to 52 Prince of Wales Street – a downtown gem combining modern upgrades, walkable convenience, and proven investment potential in one of St. John’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. Steps from St. Clare’s Hospital, Bannerman Park, George Street, and the city’s best restaurants, this semi-detached two-storey was fully renovated in 2020 and has since been impeccably maintained and successfully operated as a short-term rental with top ratings and strong financial performance. The home showcases thoughtful, timeless upgrades including new vinyl siding, torched-on roof, upgraded windows, modern electrical and plumbing, added insulation, contemporary lighting, and durable flooring throughout.

A convenient half bath and updated entry complete the main level. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms, a beautifully tiled full bath, and an in-house laundry room offer everyday comfort and functionality. Heating is efficient with electric baseboards and a heat pump for year-round climate control. Free on-street parking, municipal services, and low utility costs make ownership easy and affordable.
