You've walked by this one! Built in 1876 for the assistant clergyman of Christ Church Cathedral, this refined Gothic Revival on iconic Church Street has been held by the same family for 52 years. Set among Frederictons most recognizable historic homes on a distinctive block, yet only steps to Queen Square, galleries, restaurants, festivals, walking trails, the walking bridge, UNB & STU, with a view of the cathedral spire and the top of the legislative building from your bedroom windows. Carefully maintained and evolved over time without losing its character, nothing feels trendy or out of place. Original hard & softwood floors, tall ceilings & timeless architectural details, while meaningful updates have been completed where they matter most. Four bedrooms incl the original service quarters, two fully updated baths w/ heated tile floors, updated 200 amp copper wiring, and a fully finished third floor attic. Stately living & dining rooms, and the rear addition gives a modern family the casual space they need w/ nat gas fireplace & its own back entrance. Outside, mature perennial landscaping surrounds a surprisingly private backyard backing onto other rear yards rather than direct neighbours...a rare level of privacy for downtown. Despite Frederictons historic flood years during this familys ownership, the home has never had water in the basement. And notably, there's a Fredericton Heritage Trust plaque on the exterior. This plaque was a gift commemorative of the long stewardship of its current owners. However, this home is not listed as a ""heritage home"" despite sitting in Fredericton's heritage preservation area. An important distinction when it comes to permits & renovation plans! Deeply cared for, admired by passers by for decades...231 Church Street is more than a beautiful home on one of the most scenic streets in our downtown. It's a once-in-a-generation opportunity while offering the kind of lifestyle very few have the privilege of calling theirs. (29900330)
