Inside the home
This is a well-preserved 1870 Gothic Revival in St. George — one of the more architecturally distinct homes in the county, with its original gingerbread trim, cast iron balcony, and decorative entry porch intact. The inside has been updated thoughtfully: LVP flooring throughout, a renovated bathroom with a glass shower and penny tile, and a kitchen with stainless appliances, subway tile, and a stone-topped island. The lot is the other strong argument here. At 80 by 110 feet, fully fenced, with no rear neighbours and a barn-style shed, it's significantly more usable outdoor space than most in-town properties at this price. A newer multi-zone deck connects the kitchen to the yard. The trade-off: only one bathroom serves three bedrooms, the basement is partial and unfinished, and the living space comes in at just under 1,300 square feet. Buyers who want the character and the yard without a gut renovation will find it mostly ready. Those needing more square footage or a second bathroom will need to plan for additions.
