WHIMSEA~ A perfect name for this iconic direct waterfront Bell Island beauty. This Victorian w/its commanding water views sits majestically on its magazine-worthy property that includes spectacular gardens and a built-in spa in the stone patio. A beyond perfect spot for sipping cocktails, as you watch the boats sail by. Four finished floors of perfection by the acclaimed Louise Brooks will take your breath away. The open floor plan on the 1st floor includes a living room w/fireplace, dining room, very cool sunroom w/French doors, eat-in chef's kitchen adjacent to a command center office, and a family room w/fireplace for your movie nights. On the 2nd floor, the primary has a large bath and double walk-in closets that will satisfy any clothes horse, two other large bedrooms share a connecting bath. The 3rd floor has an oversized space (could easily be a spacious bedroom)with a fabulous turret room and a full bath as an added bonus. In the lower level, you'll find an awesome billiards room and a half bath. For added convenience, there is an elevator from the garage up to the other floors. A generator provides peace of mind for whatever Mother Nature throws your way. The large parking pad out front is a rarity and an excellent amenity on the island. Whimsea is a very special offering. Make your dream a reality.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
