Commissioned and hand-built by its original owner, Simon Lono, this architecturally significant residence is among the most distinctive homes in St. John's. Ideally located in the coveted Kent's Pond neighbourhood, within walking distance of Churchill Square, Memorial University, parks and schools, and a few minutes drive to downtown. Known for its striking Italian marble exterior and distinctive Spanish clay tile roof, the home showcases exceptional craftsmanship, artistic expression and enduring quality. Dramatic living spaces, soaring ceilings, expansive windows and remarkable architectural details create an atmosphere unlike anything else on the market. A sweeping circular staircase is crowned by a spectacular two-storey vintage Italian Murano hand-blown glass chandelier, believed to date from the 1960s, complemented by coordinating glass fixtures throughout the home. Designed for entertaining on a grand scale, the upper-level gathering room features a propane fireplace, original Mid-Century Modern wet bar with commissioned mosaic tile artwork, and access to a rooftop composite deck with panoramic city and ocean views. The home's unique layout and generous spaces comfortably accommodate large gatherings while remaining warm and inviting for everyday living. Quality is evident throughout with steel beam construction, solid oak doors, plaster mouldings and rosettes, hardwood flooring, intercom system, secure vault, imported lighting and countless custom details. Modern comforts include heated floors in the kitchen, main bath and primary ensuite. With six bedrooms and four bathrooms, this is a home for those who appreciate architecture, originality and inspired living.
