176 Tupper Street, Milton, Newfoundland and Labrador B0T 1P0

Built in the mid 19th century by Tupper Mill, overlooking the shoreline where the Mersey River meets the Atlantic at the falls, "The Parsonage" looks much as it did 170 years ago - a simple, Carpenter Gothic form bespeaking the faith of the Protestants who commissioned it. This exceptional home has been exhaustively restored over the past 25 years. It is nestled amidst mature gardens and woodland of over four acres. The property is comprised of a heritage home with close to 3,000 sq. ft. of usable space, old carriage barn with 3 bays and loft, large shed/equipment garage with loft and attached lean-tos, garden-wood shed and a small greenhouse. The site has views to the falls and Tupper Park and fronts onto a quiet side street. It would be ideal for a family or an active couple seeking the relaxed lifestyle of a rural village. The main floor of the house features a broad front foyer which leads to an open hall with small powder room at the rear and large dining room to the left. The dining room has a wide bay to the garden and an archway to the living room lending this overall open space a casual ambiance. The bespoke, 'European', country kitchen is one of a kind - with French-style cabinetry, cook-top within an antique range, leaded glass doors, farm sink and tumbled-slate floor. The main-floor, principal bedroom features double closets and ensuite four piece bath with marble flooring, stone sink, large jet-tub and over-sized custom, tiled shower. The second floor, with its central hall and gothic window, features three bedrooms with a shared family bath with custom, tiled shower. A unique feature of this home is the 33 ft, workshop-loft with aluminum stairs which retract electronically into the stairwell ceiling - custom manufactured in Montreal. This painstaking renovation included: interior taken down to the frame, full insulation and new drywall, new wiring, plumbing and windows. Just minutes to the amenities of Liverpool and Nova Scotia's spectacular beaches.
