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.

We Host is a professional property management company based in Newfoundland! We typically answer messages between 10:30AM and 9:30PM Newfoundland time.

You can contact us via your booking channel as well as replying to the welcome messages you received upon confirmation.

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.

Each bedroom, and the loft, have their own bathroom, plus a half-bath is located near the kitchen off the laundry room. A spacious, modern, and pristine open-concept kitchen opens into a large dining area and comfortable living room, with a spiral staircase leading to the loft. Both floors boast incredibly spacious decks over-looking the entire city. A truly impressive panoramic view of the city hard to find anywhere else. One well-travelled guest we hosted here rated this spot in the top 5 he's been to in the world for the view alone! :)

Just off the kitchen is a dining area for six. The living area features a wide selection of books, and flat screen TV. There is a second dining area for six just beyond the living room. You will love the floor to ceiling windows that wrap the living area, giving you one of the best views St. John's has to offer of the mouth of the harbour, the harbour, the Battery, and Downtown St. John's!

Also on the main level are two queen bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. One which has a standup shower and one with a tub/shower combination.
