Enjoy the historic charm of stately and spacious Fairmount House, ideally situated on a large mature lot in the quiet Waterford Valley neighbourhood, just a short walk to historic Downtown, and a short drive to Signal Hill and family-friendly Bowring Park. Built in 1892, this lovingly maintained and meticulously clean five-bedroom home features over 4000 square feet of original architecture: lovely bay windows, hand-crafted wooden windowsills and doors, beautiful original staircase and wide hallways, shining hardwood floors, and 10-foot ceilings with hand-plastered crown moldings. You’ll also find a welcoming eat-in kitchen; open dining room; original and reproduction artwork by local Newfoundland artists; a certified wood burning stove; 2.5 bathrooms; and space to sleep 10, including a large master suite with king bed and ensuite soaker tub and another king bedroom with harbour views. It’s the perfect place to make new memories with large family gatherings or multi-family getaways. We know you’ll enjoy your stay!
Relax with a coffee in the morning sun or under the one-hundred-year-old chestnut tree, then walk, take a bus from directly across the street, or a short $10 cab ride to explore the vibrant downtown core of St. John’s. Or go for a five-minute drive to stroll the trails throughout Bowring Park and let the kids visit the duck pond, explore the playground, and play in the splashpad. Or use Fairmont House as a home base to explore Cape Spear and the wider Avalon Peninsula. Then retreat to your own private piece of St. John’s history to share dinners together, recount stories in the secluded backyard of the day’s adventures, or unwind with a glass of wine and a soak in the tub.
