Property description

This 1945 character home on Topsail Road showcases authentic horsehair plaster walls – artisanship you simply cannot replicate today. These superior walls provide insulation, soundproofing, and that solid feel only genuine character homes deliver. A full acre in the heart of the city. Completely treed, park-like privacy yet minutes from everything. Your own private estate without sacrificing convenience. The original character trims and woodwork throughout tell a story of craftsmanship from a time when quality mattered more than speed. That stunning bevelled glass porch – with its hand-cut, prismatic glass panels that catch and scatter light like jewelry – is pure 1940s elegance you simply don't find anymore. The beautiful staircase serves as the home's centerpiece, showcasing the meticulous woodwork that defines this era. Picture yourself by the fireplace, huge windows framing your tree-covered sanctuary. The large kitchen becomes the heart of gatherings, while that exquisite bevelled glass porch transforms ordinary sunlight into dancing rainbows. Your substantial 18x33 pool sparkles between mature trees – serious swimming space, not some tiny splash zone. With its $10,000 liner, it's ready for years of memories. 4000 square feet of genuine character with main floor primary bedroom (presently used as office/den). Second floor primary bedroom with an adjoined sitting room plus the unique tunnel storage built into its roofline. Natural light pours through oversized windows throughout. Just 3 minutes to St. Mary's Elementary, 7 minutes to Bowring Park, walking distance to Village Mall and downtown. Two driveways including new paved driveway, building potential. Upgraded: new PEX plumbing (2025), water booster, window upgrades, premium roof with ice shield protection (2020).
