Description
Some homes simply refuse to be forgotten. Set high above the street on an elevated lot canopied by magnificent mature maples, 218 Fraser Street is one of them. This distinguished two-storey Italianate residence commands its corner of New Glasgow with the quiet confidence of a home that has stood for generations and was built to stand for many more. Arrive via a sweeping circular driveway, and you immediately sense that this is something different. The architecture speaks for itself: decorative cornice brackets, a gracefully arched upper window, and a broad covered front veranda with ornamental railings that invite you to slow down and take it all in. In spring, the surrounding red-leafed maples erupt in colour, framing the home in a way that no landscaper could ever plan or replicate. Inside, the bones are exceptional. Original hardwood floors run underfoot through three generously sized bedrooms, each benefiting from the home's tall ceilings and oversized windows that bathe every room in warm, natural light. A thoughtful layout offers 1.5 bathrooms, a rear deck for outdoor living, and a dual back entry for added everyday practicality. Beyond the home itself, the lot is a rare urban treasure, a deep, level backyard with established garden beds and mature hedging offering a private outdoor sanctuary with endless potential, all just steps from the shops, schools, restaurants, and amenities that make New Glasgow such a wonderful place to call home. This is not a cookie-cutter property. It is a piece of Nova Scotia history waiting for its next chapter. For the buyer with vision, 242 Fraser Street offers something increasingly rare: authenticity, character, and a sense of place that simply cannot be built from scratch. (id:56844)
