55-57 Dorchester Street

Welcome to 55-57 Dorchester St., a property recently restored by a top PEI interior designer. This restoration masterfully blends historic integrity with modern luxury. This side-by-side duplex stands among historic buildings, graced out front by ginkgo trees, and has designated street parking. The courtyard style back garden provides a serene and private retreat amidst lush shrubs, flowers, and a tree-lined fence. One of the few remaining in Charlottetown, the drivethrough carriageway highlights its past as a hostelry. Wide floorboards from decommissioned merchant ships are found throughout the interior. Each unit's main floor offers spacious kitchen, living, and dining areas. Unit 55 features two second-floor bedrooms, including a primary suite with a beautiful ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and laundry. A guest bedroom with an attached powder room completes this floor. Unit 57 features a second-level sitting room (easily converted to another bedroom), a bedroom, and a stylish bathroom complete with laundry. Both units boast huge finished loft-like third levels. Unit 57?s third level includes a charming free standing tub and enough space for a bedroom, sitting area, and more. Unique for its age, both units have ample storage space, including huge closets. 55-57 Dorchester St. is of significant heritage value, having served as a home to notable figures and as a hostelry where the Bishop of Quebec celebrated Mass. Enjoy living and sharing its history, either as a multigenerational home or by living on one side while renting out the other, which will more than cover all expenses for both units. This property adheres to the city's new short-term rental regulations, allowing for short-term and long-term rentals. Situated in the heart of Charlottetown, 55-57 Dorchester St. is a five minute walk from everything the city offers. (id:4069)
