This graceful Lunenburg residence has been in the same family since it was built as their showpiece in 1936. The prominent Smith Families of Highliner and Smith & Rhuland fame positioned their new home on one of the nicest lots in “New Town”, boasting over half an acre of mature trees and park-like lawns and landscaping. The house is nicely set back and elevated above Green Street on a block of other outstanding homes of the same period.
The 4 bedroom/4 full bath home features hardwood floors throughout, fine woodwork, and period details galore. Lovingly maintained for all of its 79 years, the house shows virtually no wear having only ever had 4 residents, including the young lady who christened the original Bluenose…how’s that for Lunenburg provenance! All windows in the house are original and work beautifully…don’t even think about replacing these beauties with vinyl inserts!!!
The Living Room features a traditional fireplace, the adjoining Den enjoys windows on three sides, and the formal Dining Room has a pretty built-in China cabinet. The vintage Kitchen is as stylish and functional today as ever with its original stainless steel countertops, Italian glass tile, and checkerboard rubber tile flooring. Rare in a house of this vintage is a convenient main floor full bathroom and separate laundry room.
Upstairs, find 3 generous bedrooms including a spacious and sunny Master Bedroom which enjoys a full ensuite and his-&-hers closets. Above the garage and with its own private staircase are what were once the maid’s quarters, ideal today for the live-in in-law or independent teen. This special space features a cozy bedroom overlooking the back gardens, a small sitting room or office, and its own full bathroom.
The basement is a delightful surprise with great storage and a finished Rec Room/Den with fireplace and original slate floor tiles. The heated double garage provides plenty of room for the car and the toys.
108 Green Street is a remarkable property with a proud history. Aren’t you curious?
