258 Charlotte Street — Fredericton, New Brunswick

When comfort matters more than scale, welcome to the Wee Yellow House! Decades & layers of paint of all different shades of gold - from butter to canary - have embraced it. So when it was due for a modern layer of rigid foam insulation & new vinyl siding? It naturally had to be done in a soft heritage saffron. In the heart of downtown, quiet with a shared drive that easily runs itself with neighbourly deeds...its the kind of place that becomes a hub for gatherings. Designed for a simpler way of life, the way people used to live. Built by hand with excellent sun orientation & zoned spaces that feel held, not hollow. What the owner calls a human analog house"". Cheerful & manageable...between the electric fireplaces & the sun, the furnace is barely used resulting in a monthly bill of $100-$250/mth. Inside you'll find liberated soft wood floors; 6 layers stripped back, bringing the home's natural beauty & quality materials back to life. Bone dry basement, interior & exterior parge and waterproofing done on the foundation. 2 bedrooms plus home office (or potential 3rd bedroom - not egress), updated full bath & you'll be surprised by the ergonomic kitchen & full sized dining room built for gathering. Not to mention the ""chez derriere"" south-facing backyard for long summer evenings! 200 amp panel, roof shingles 2021...full of character, thoughtfully improved with interventions done to render the Wee Yellow House ready for many stewards to come.
