220 11th STREET E

Welcome to 220 11th Street East, located minutes from the river, in Saskatoon's beautiful Nutana neighbourhood! This home was originally built in the early 1900s by James Isbister who owned one of Saskatoon's 1st hardware stores. Because of the family business James had access to exceptional finishings. After over a hundred years we can still see this pride of ownership in the doorknobs, the copper firebox, window latches, pocket door hardware, tile inlay in the fireplace, the intricate wall sconces &, of course, the show stopping leaded glass windows. You won't find another home like this in Saskatoon! Sunlight streams through the main floor from the large windows in every room. With soaring ceilings & quarter sawn oak trim there is a grand, airy, feel to the whole space. The kitchen has been upgraded to include the modern amenities that we have become accustom to & there is a main floor powder room, not common in character houses. On the 2nd floor you will find maple floors with fir millwork in the 4 bedrooms & hallway. The primary bedroom is large, even to today's standards. There are 2 closets, built-in storage & I am told that behind the built-ins there is a drain & water hook ups. This would allow for a larger 4th bedroom if you moved the laundry from the smaller bedroom to the primary bedroom. Up here you have access to the large enclosed porch with views of the South Saskatchewan river. Off another bedroom is a south facing deck. Heading down to the basement you will be pleasantly surprised at the ceiling height & windows. Currently being used as a guest room this space could also be a family room. Basement is solid & dry! In the cold storage room you can see that the foundation is partly fieldstone, a very hearty way to build homes meant to last longer than concrete. Laundry could also be moved here. The yard has been immaculately cared for with perennials, grass, & underground sprinklers. Out back there is a dbl garage (24x24) for vehicles & storage. (id:4069)
