About this property

Iconic Red | Top of the Battery | Parking

This stunning home is located in one of the most historic & whimsical areas of St. John's, known as The Battery. Every window has awe-inspiring views that bathe the space in lots of natural light. A wonderful getaway, minutes from the Signal Hill hiking trail & interpretation centre, and a quick walk to the heart of downtown. Each of the 3 beds (1 is a futon in loft) has an ensuite bathroom (with in-floor heating), which is great for larger groups. You won't want to leave this magical place.

The Battery, a colourful and unique neighbourhood built into a rock face, sits on the entrance to the harbour, located on the slopes of Signal Hill. The area was named for its rich and important history as a battery for the defence of St. John's Harbour in both World Wars.
