7 Main Street, Bauline

Only 21 kilometres away from St. John’s, the road narrows and gently descends into a pretty little cove. Welcoming you on either side is the warmth of Newfoundland bay homes, replete with picket fences and iconic clothes lines. Just before the final turn to the harbour, 7 Main Street sits nestled beside the village green and entrance to the East Coast Trail. This property consists of TWO PARCELS OF LAND - one hosts the newly refurbished traditional Newfoundland home, and the other is bounded by a burbling mountain stream. Both parcels are beautiful, with mown lawns, and mature deciduous trees. Stand on the bridge beside parcel 2 and watch the river pass below or the children playing at the community gardens next door. In typical Newfoundland fashion, the main door (not the front door) is at the rear of the house and enters into a very large open kitchen with bright recently renewed cupboards, flooring, and countertops. With a large pantry and covered deck off the kitchen and fenced back yard, this house is meant to be a home for gathering friends and loved ones. Bright new windows illuminate the dining and living rooms, laundry and full bath all on the main, making the heart of the home practical and very livable. The primary takes up half of the second floor with a full ensuite, walk in closet, and an anti-room on the western corner, bounded by windows on both sides – one with a view of the ocean, the other of the river. This open yet private space is perfect for a quiet reading, office space, or just a place to relax while watching the sun set across the bay. Two other large bedrooms have big windows that welcome views of the river on one side and the beautifully quaint bayside village on the other. Far enough away to feel like you are in another world, yet close enough to attend nights out and to enjoy all of the amenities that living in such close proximity to the capital city provides, this house is the stuff that dreams are made of.
