Saint John's historically significant private residence, circa 1850's, the William Parks Estate is an 2 1/2 storey stone Gothic Revival house. Sandstone exterior gives a commanding presence on its well landscaped, private setting. The grand hallway boasts trompe L'oil painting in its entirity. 12 foot ceilings on main floor and fireplaces in every room speak of a bygone era. The impressive staircase leads you up to 4 gracious bedrooms with fireplaces, 2 bathrooms and a sitting area overlooking the gardens. The 3rd storey attic has staircase to the belvedere that offers panoramic city scape and harbour views! Servants quarters are now 2 guest apartments, a 3rd apartment interestingly created in the daylight walk out basement. Original detached 2 storey carriage house is a rare find! The undisturbed property is an incredible architectural beauty - the best I've seen!
