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!

The listing looked great but it's even better in person! Feels just like home and can watch the ships in the harbour all day and night! Very clean, well stocked, comfortable beds, we really enjoyed ourselves!
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.

Thank you so much so glad you enjoyed your time there.
This would be definitely one of the best hidden gems we have found! We absolutely loved this place: the view is breathtaking and the location couldn’t be better. Highly recommended stay! We’ll be back soon!
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!
Beautiful home right on the water. Two great decks and everything you could need inside the home. Loved watching the birds and ships in the harbour and great location near signal hill and downtown St. John’s Would highly recommend this property
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.
Might just be the most beautiful rental in St. John's. On the harbour. Boast and harbour lights.
Very comfortable living room dining room and kitchen for our group of 4 and our 4 guests for thanksgiving dinner. Would totally love to stay there again.

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
This property has beautiful on the water views and is great for hiking. The accommodation has everything you would need for a very comfortable place to stay.
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!

Thank you so much I’m so glad you like it. We also love it for those reasons. Sometimes we can’t even leave because looking out is so much fun!
This property is fantastic. The view of the harbour and many cruise and other ships is amazing! All four of us loved everything about this place and would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to St. John’s!

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it...we find sometimes it feels like you can almost touch those ships!
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!

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
