Location: St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada (Downtown Location - Approximately 5 Km from Airport)
Accommodations: Semi-Detached House, 3 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 6)
This magnificent house holds 125 years of history in her walls, all of which have been meticulously restored or preserved. As the distinguished "Spencer Lodge", in the early 20th century, this house was a residence to many young girls as they came to St. John's for schooling at Bishop Spencer School. Today it is a lovely relic which holds her own in a city with a remarkable and colorful historical past.
This 3000+ square foot home still prides herself with original plasterwork, high ceilings, original soft wood floors, 9 fireplaces, and a grand 3-storey staircase. Enjoy the inspired spaces of a second floor reading corner, a bay-windowed seating recess off the dining room, and a library/office at the top of the old servant's stairs. The kitchen and dining room hide little of their history - exposed beams, the old cooking fireplace and a servant's pass-through. Here, with the luxury of modernity, you can experience a time that is refusing to be forgotten.
Situated on a gracious tree-lined street, steps away from the enchanting row-houses of the more concentrated core (just behind the Sheraton Hotel Newfoundland), the location is perfect for downtown walking to shops, cafes, fine dining, coffee houses, pubs, galleries and even grocery stores. It is also just a 5 minute walk to the start of several local and spectacular trails: Rennie's River, Quidi Vidi Lake, and Signal Hill. A vehicle is easily accommodated but not necessary from this convenient locale. Come back from your day and relax with a drink in the private and quiet garden, as you plan your next day in this most unique and invigorating city.
