76 Princess Royal Street, Saint Andrews

Located within walking distance to everything Saint Andrews has to offer the sea, shops, restaurants and museums, this immaculate, charming c1860s two storey home has been sensitively updated while maintaining all it original features. It sits on a spacious, landscaped lot and its large rear deck is made private both by the house itself and mature cedar trees. This stylish home, according to historian John Leroux was , Originally owned by the Britt family, the handsome house with its prominent steep roof and central cross-gable is a good example of Maritime vernacular equally inspired by the Gothic Revival and the Classical Revival (the large eave returns, wide corner boards and frieze band, classical moulding and rectilinear entry). The design is the typical four over four room layout with the fourth bedroom upstairs being transformed into an ensuite to the Master bedroom and a large main bath and laundry. Downstairs there are four large rooms; kitchen, dining, living and family rooms. A spacious addition off the kitchen and accessible from the rear deck is a convenient space for a home office or kitchen entertaining. This great historic house retains its wide pine floors and original fireplace mantles, yet enjoys upgrades such as a new roof and deck and newer full concrete basement (dry). This property is immaculate and must be seen! (id:1945)
