About this property

LUXURY WATERFRONT HOME in the amazing Outer Battery/foot of Signal Hill

The best location in the City! I tried to buy a house in the Battery for years and finally found this waterfront, 5 year old amazing Outer Battery home! 2 beds (and den used as additional child's room) and 2 baths over 1700 square feet and amazing location...Open plan up and views from all rooms. Two great decks.
Feb 2016, Conde Nast Traveler called the Outer Battery Village one of " Most Beautiful Places in Canada...". They went on to say "...Sunny yellow, cherry red, turquoise blue—St. Johns’ pop-art-colored houses, collectively known as Jellybean Row, look especially awe-inspiring clustered in the cliffs of this atmosphere-drenched coastal neighborhood just outside downtown..."
We are literally steps to the trail to walk up to Signal Hill National Park and have other walking trails along with close access to the Grand Concourse urban trail system. 5 minutes from downtown by car and 10 minutes by foot. It has a deck with panoramic views of the harbour and out to see.

This is the best location in the city and a great base from which to enjoy this amazing province!

A great location with a spectacular view overlooking St John’s harbour! The accommodations were excellent with all the amenities and very clean! Driveway is a little tight so be sure to have a compact or midsize vehicle. We would definitely recommend this a must stay!! Thanks!

Thank you so much! Sounds like you enjoyed it as much as we do! The appraiser from the bank said exactly what you did in his report-he said best view and location in St. John's. We would love to have you as guests again. Take care, Patricia

The place is great and the pictures don't do the views justice. You have 180 degree views of the harbor from the kitchen out to the deck.As noted, parking is tight. It's easy, but hilly, walk into town.

A wonderful vacation cottage

We had a terrific stay at this cottage. It was well-equipped and was located in a wonderful location. It was hot during at stay in St John’s but the ocean breezes cooled us while we sat on the deck. Highly recommended!

Why they chose this property

I was only looking to buy on this street so it took forever to appraiser wrote in his report that it may be the best location in St. John's and I have to agree. Amazing location, neighbours and all amenities nearby

What makes this property unique

Walk a block to Signal Hill trail; walk in the other direction 10 minutes to St. John's; famous area historically and lovely culturally
