Long recognized for the quality of its restoration in a range of publications, both books and magazines, Retreat Cottage, c. 1834 was given the Southcott Award by the Newfoundland Historic Trust in 1988. The house is complemented with a stunning.814 acre garden with spaces that represent a secluded, and private retreat from the rush of the town. Retreat Cottage has grown out of its original form as a country cottage. In its 4200 square feet it has five bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one half-bathroom. It is noted not just for its exterior but also for the interest of a number of its interior features including the cast-iron range set into the kitchen chimney, French doors with sliding shutters n the dining and sitting rooms that open onto the front porch and into the garden. Along the full length of the house front is a glazed porch which provides a warm space on a sunny winter’s day. There are eight working fireplaces in the principal first- and second-floor rooms including two Rumford fireplaces. There is a large modern kitchen with granite counters and an eating area in the bay window which overlooks the garden. Two pantries off the kitchen (one with a Victorian pump) and one off the sitting room provide more than ample storage. The main bathroom has pine cabinets made of paneling rescued from an 1847 house as well as a fine six-foot cast-iron bath. The main bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with its own fireplace. Vendors prepared to consider an extended closing date. (id:31684)
