Property Description
Also known as “Limeville,” the house is a Southcott-style second-empire villa dating from approximately 1875, situated at the edge of the St John's Harbour, upon an oversized lot (~1.13 acres) with over 250-foot frontage on Battery Road & over 188-foot frontage on Cabot Avenue. **Note on survey vacant land parcels B (~0.41 acres) & C (~0.21 acres) also available & would consider a package price**. Limeville features a central-hall grand staircase with 12' ceilings on the main floor, and a beautiful stained glass window at the stair landing. It has 6 bedrooms upstairs and 4 principal rooms downstairs, with multiple fireplace locations. Historically the home of four families through time: the Bodens, the Scores, the Walshes & the Allderdices, Limeville got its name from the second owner, John Score, who quarried & prepared agricultural lime. He had a tree nursery and greenhouses on the site. The third owner of the land was the Walsh family, known for their work on the mechanical systems at St John's Basilica. Indeed, the home features a massive centre-hall hot-water radiator, twin to one at the Basilica. The most recent custodians of the land, the Allderdices, were well-known professors at Memorial University. In retirement, Bill became an established St John's artist and Penny a Unitarian Minister and chaplain. Their love and care for Limeville shows in its cedar shingle cladding, its Pella wood windows, the hardwood floors, & the careful upkeep of the mechanical systems, and above all in the husbandry of the land itself: heavily treed with beech, maple, oak, apple & cherry, the land is known throughout the city for its annual display of thousands of spring bulbs. For those lucky enough to walk the terraced grounds, Limeville also affords a tremendous view of the St John's harbour & the downtown streets. Imagine your next garden party on the front terrace!
