Known as “Limeville,” 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 ref. as lot A on survey) with over 250-foot frontage on Battery Road & over 188-foot frontage on Cabot Avenue. Additional vacant land (~0.41 acres ref. as lot B on survey) also included in sale with nearly 130 foot frontage on Cabot Avenue - Offering potential for future development or the flexibility to sell & reinvest in property improvements! Limeville features a central-hall grand staircase with 12’ ceilings on the main floor, & a beautiful stained glass window at the stair landing. It has 6 bedrooms upstairs & 4 principal rooms downstairs, with multiple fireplace locations. Historically the home of 4 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 & 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 & Penny a Unitarian Minister & chaplain. Their love & care for Limeville shows in its cedar shingle cladding, its Pella wood windows, the hardwood floors, & the careful upkeep of the mechanical systems, & 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!
