About this home

Not many homes come with a founding story. Carved from the very stones of Fred Burpee's legendary 1876 ""castle,"" this extraordinary early 1900's residence sits on Saint John's most storied cul-de-sac; a living piece of the city's history, elevated with every modern refinement a discerning buyer could desire. Nestled on exclusive Duncraggan Court off Mount Pleasant Avenue, this two-storey stone beauty offers over 2,500 finished sq ft of timeless architecture and thoughtful, high-calibre updates. Character is undeniable from the moment you step inside: exposed brick, gracious period details, and charming original nooks throughout. The main floor is anchored by a spectacular kitchen and eat-in dining renovation by Award Winning Acre Architects, a classically elegant wainscotted dining room with original built-ins, a chicly appointed powder room, and a generous, light-filled living room with a marble wood-burning fireplace. The fully rebuilt sunroom, reconstructed from the foundation up, features a catalytic wood stove and opens onto a private stone patio, landscaped grounds, and included hot tub, a true four-season sanctuary. Ascend the original banister staircase with gorgeous period tile to a serene primary suite complete with a renovated ensuite, dedicated dressing room, and private balcony overlooking the mature, private grounds, with city and harbour views that emerge each winter. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the upper level. Major updates include: all-new electrical and panel (2014), roof (2018), solarium windows and full rebuild (2018/2023), plumbing upgrades (2023), and a new catalytic fireplace insert (2025). This is not a home that comes to market often. 4 Duncraggan Court is a rare opportunity to own an irreplaceable piece of Saint John's heritage, reimagined for the way you live today. (id:63626)
