Step into timeless elegance with this extraordinary 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom heritage home, originally built in 1895 by renowned architect William Crichlow Harris as the parochial house for St. Josephs Church. Unlike a typical 19th-century home, this stately residence was designed to impress, constructed specifically to attract the most distinguished clergy of its era. The architectural grandeur is unmistakable: original hardwood flooring (now beautifully refinished in 2024), soaring ceilings adorned with intricate mouldings, and an aura of history and refinement in every room. Notable original features include the 1895 oak staircase, front doors, crown moulding, and a brass chandelier, all preserved and restored to showcase the home?s timeless character. One of the homes most iconic elements is its majestic turret, which can be topped with a 39-inch copper finial (spire), a rare architectural detail that is included with the property, along with a custom-built modern turret anchor. Extensive updates over the past two years offer the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern peace of mind. Enjoy a new roof, all-new bathroom plumbing, partial electrical upgrades with BX wiring, a UV light filtration system for well water, and four skylights (three installed, one included for future installation). This property qualifies for a Heritage Designation but does not currently hold one, offering flexibility for future designation or preservation incentives. With five spacious bedrooms and four full baths, this home offers flexible living arrangements for family, guests, or a potential B and B. Furnishings and decorative contents are negotiable. A rare opportunity to own a true piece of Prince Edward Islands architectural and cultural history, lovingly restored and ready for its next chapter. (id:2493)
