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 fantastic house in one of the most beautiful locations on earth. The harbour views are stunning with endless boat and bird watching opportunities. The house is just steps away from an incredible hiking trail up to Signal Hill. We loved our stay.

Parafise by the Water

This property is truly a piece of paradise right on the water. The host is incredibly kind and understanding and we wanted for nothing. Strongly encourage you to visit this property. Just also advise that you be very mobile, as there are several hills when you are out walking. We all just loved staying here!

The property couldn't have been in a more beautiful place! To wake up every morning, open the door and be "on the water" at the mouth of St. John's harbor was AMAZING!Very clean, VERY well stocked in the kitchen. The bed was more comfortable than my own. We loved getting up and, being a very short walk from the trailhead, take the scenic trail up to Signal Hill. Wow!Thank you Pat for sharing your home with us!

I cycled across the country and staying at this home was like finding Shangri-La. It’s better than advertised. Mornings and evenings were spent on the patio overlooking the harbour watching ships go by and looking for whales. The dining table offered the same view. The shower was excellent (and much needed) and the two main bedrooms also looked out on the water and were great. The proximity to Signal Hill and its incredible hike (as judged by the popularity and steady stream of hikers) is an added bonus. Yes, the final bit of road is narrow and the parking is tight; some may find it a challenge but it was fine for me. Thanks for an awesome time!

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!

Beautiful place in a beautiful location

We loved walking into St. John’s and up to signal hill but mostly just loved the view of the harbour from the whole place and both decks! The boats were so interesting to watch coming in and out! We didn’t want to leave this place!

A weekend in the Battery

This was an excellent location if you’re looking for some waterfront relaxation with a short albeit hilly walk to St.Johns. Great location for some spectacular hiking as well. We are hoping to come back again. Everything was perfect. :)
