Stunning Ocean Views • Expansive Lot • Attached and Detached Garages • Sunroom • Workshop Welcome to a spacious, well-loved family home offering breathtaking ocean views and room to grow. Situated on a large lot just minutes from St. John’s via the Bypass Road, this property blends small-community charm with quick access to city amenities. The main level features a generous foyer, bright living and dining rooms, a separate family room, a functional kitchen, a sun-filled solarium, an office, and additional flexible spaces to suit your lifestyle. Designed with natural light in mind, the home’s windows capture the beauty of the coastline throughout the day. Upstairs, you’ll find three oversized bedrooms, including a primary suite with two closets and a spacious ensuite complete with a soaker tub. A full main bath and ample storage complete the second level. The fully developed basement offers even more living space with a family room, office, and storage areas—ideal for hobbies, entertainment, or extended family. Outside, enjoy the panoramic ocean views from the back deck where whales and icebergs often drift by. The property includes an attached double-oversized garage, a detached 20'x22' garage, and a workshop located beneath the attached garage. Lovingly built and maintained by the same family since day one, this home is move-in ready. A few cosmetic updates would further enhance its appeal. Electric furnace for the hot water radiant heat is 1 year old and shingles 2022 (approx). Home inspection is welcome for buyer information only, as the vendor is elderly and unable to complete any repairs. (id:56688)
