Welcome to 3A Forest Road, also known as the East Wing of Devon Place, a distinguished residence dating back to 1895. Ideally situated in the heart of St. John’s historic quarter, this exceptional heritage property which was owned by some of the most prestigious merchant families in the early 20th century offers one of the most sought-after locations in the city.
Designed by renowned architect William Howe Greene-also known for Cabot Tower-this home is a fine example of Classical Revival architecture. This beautifully maintained two-storey showcases timeless elegance & remarkable original detail throughout. The living and dining rooms are truly breathtaking, featuring original wainscoting, intricate cherub cornice mouldings, solid wood doors, & expansive windows that fill the space with natural light.
The living room is anchored by one of the most striking fireplaces in the city, creating a warm & inviting focal point. A grand foyer welcomes you inside, highlighted by an impressive original staircase & a bright skylight overhead. The charming kitchen, complete with an adjoining pantry, opens to a backyard full of potential for gardening or outdoor living.
Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with its own fireplace. The main bathroom blends classic & modern with a clawfoot tub & a separate walk-in glass block shower. The basement offers excellent potential for additional living space, whether as a rec room, home office, or studio.
Thoughtfully updated for modern living, the home features a newly installed heat pump system, upgraded attic & basement insulation, & an exterior EV charging port in the driveway. A rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history—this is a home that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
