705-707 Manawagonish Road — Saint John, New Brunswick

Welcome to 705-707 Manawagonish Road, a character-filled two-family property in a convenient west side location. Close to shopping, groceries, restaurants, public transit, Irving Nature Park and Uptown Saint John, this is also a very walkable area with great schools just across the street. Built in 1911 and owned by the same family since it was constructed, this property offers a history that is becoming increasingly rare. The two spacious four-bedroom units are similar in layout, each beginning with an enclosed entry that provides shelter from the weather. Inside, beautiful staircases, large double parlours, some preserved hardwood floors, original trim, stained glass and plenty of character reflect the home's era. Each unit has its own kitchen on the main level. One unit also features a pantry, while the other has the convenience of an additional half bath. Upstairs, each unit features three good-sized bedrooms, a smaller fourth bedroom and a full bathroom. Both units have their own laundry and full basements with walkouts to the backyard, providing plenty of storage. Each unit also has its own electrical panel and electric heat, allowing heat and lights to be separately metered. The property offers off-street parking at the rear, along with on-street parking out front. Roofing updates include newer shingles on the mansard and front entryway, along with the main modified membrane roof being replaced around 2008. A storage building at the rear of the property was formerly a garage and is now used for additional storage. Neither unit is currently rented or has been rented since the 90s, and no income or expense information is available. With two spacious units, plenty of original character and over a century of history with the same family, this is a unique opportunity for the next owner to take on a special property and make it their own.
