96 Union Street, St. Stephen, New Brunswick

About 96 Union Street

Welcome to 96 Union Street, a stunning 1920s Tudor Revival in the heart of downtown St. Stephen. In over 100 years, this home has only been loved by two families. The first for 50 years, and the current family for 53. From the moment you arrive, this home stops you in your tracks. Original wooden clapboard siding, a river stone chimney, and a covered front veranda with classic pillars set the tone for a home full of character you cannot recreate. Welcome guests up the front veranda into a grand foyer with original Douglas fir wainscoting, a stately staircase, and beveled glass French doors with the original crystal knobs. To the right, the impressive double living room features a coffered Douglas fir ceiling and original red brick fireplace. To the left, the classic dining room space, with matching coffered ceiling and original built-in china cabinets, currently used as a cozy second living space. Step into the kitchen and you will notice the glass cabinetry in the dining room opens through to original Douglas fir doors on the kitchen side, with the original little latches still working a hundred years later. My favourite feature in the home, perfect for displaying your china and passing dishes between rooms. The kitchen also offers granite counters and a charming wood stove (currently capped, but could be made functional with minor updates to today's code). Behind the kitchen is the everyday entry from the driveway, the likely entry point for the owner. Laundry and a convenient half bath sit just off the kitchen, with a door leading out to the back deck. Upstairs you will find a spacious landing, four bedrooms with two oversized, plus a full bathroom with a clawfoot tub. A door at the top of the landing opens to a full third floor walk-up attic, ideal for storage or future finished living space. One minute to the Garcelon Civic Centre, the Canada/US border, and the historic St. Croix River. Five minutes to schools. Walk to everything downtown. (id:36535)
