One of the last surviving saltbox homes in scenic and highly sought-after Port Rexton, this cherished family-owned property, known as the 'Butler Home', is being offered to the market for the very first time—a rare opportunity to own a piece of Newfoundland's architectural heritage. Ideally positioned to capture breathtaking, unobstructed ocean views, including picturesque Fox Island, the property enjoys a commanding setting overlooking the community. The land extends up the hillside at the rear, backing onto a quiet street and providing additional access, privacy, and elevated views of the harbour and town. Lovingly maintained and painstakingly restored in 2007, the home retains its historic character while incorporating modern upgrades, including a 200-amp electrical service, PEX plumbing with drain-down valves, a drilled well, and a recently replaced septic tank. Traditional clapboard siding, wooden doors and windows, and newly built wooden storm windows preserve the home's authentic charm. The main floor features a traditional front parlour with an original decorative fireplace mantel and built-ins, a spacious dining room open to the kitchen, a powder room with laundry, and a rear linhay with porch and utility/storage space. Upstairs are three cozy bedrooms, two with stunning ocean views, and a modern four-piece bathroom. The attic offers excellent dry storage and future development potential. A remarkable two-storey outbuilding provides endless possibilities as a studio, workshop, bunkie, or artist's retreat. Located on the doorstep of the famous Skerwink Trail and Fox Island Trail, and within walking distance of Two Whales Coffee Shop, Port Rexton Brewery, and Fisher's Loft, this exceptional property offers the very best of the vibrant Bonavista Peninsula lifestyle—hiking, dining, art, theatre, and spectacular coastal scenery. No conveyence of offers until Wednesday, July 8 @ 12:00pm (noon) and left open for acceptance until 5:00pm the same day. (id:27476)
