2360-2370 Topsail Road - For Sale
Affectionately referred to a “POPIN”, purchased by the Herder Family in 1949, this substantial home and waterfront property is being offered for sale for the fist time since the days of confederation with Canada.
The land comprises approximately 1.88 acres with approximately 285.8 ft of frontage on Topsail Rd. The property widens to approximately 318 ft frontage along its North boundary with the Conception Bay shoreline.
The property is located in the Topsail neighbourhood of Conception Bay South, where the population is about 24,000 and most residents commute the 15 mile distance to St. John’s for work.
Most residential amenities (i.e. schools, shopping, professional services, etc) are provided in the town within a 2-3 mile range from the subject property and regional services such as hospitals and post secondary facilities are within easy commuting to St. John’s, the capital city.
The land slopes gently from Topsail Rd to the rear boundary and where the rear boundary meets the ocean, the grade of the slope is more pronounced heading down to Topsail Beach.
The home on the property, which is being sold “as is where is” is of substantial size with about 5000+ sq ft over two floors. The main floor boasts a 17 by 13 kitchen, 13.5 by 18 dining room, 30 by 13 living room, 20 by 30 family room, and 14 by 12 den. The second level has six bedrooms and a den. Views from the family room and from North facing rooms on the second floor, including the den and master bedroom, are truly spectacular.
In addition to the main house there are two outbuildings.
The grounds have been well kept by the same individual for the last 52 years and ongoing grounds maintenance continues. Lots of traditional plants and shrubs and trees abound, including lupines, lilies, Siberian iris, soloman’s seal, goatsbeard. weigela, rosa ragosa, barberry, lilac, laburnum and copper beech.
This property can present a number of options for prospective buyers. A buyer may wish to restore and retain the house as a principal residence and enjoy the approx. 1.88 ocean front property. Another buyer could choose to remove the house and build a new home and enjoy the approx. 1.88 acres or subdivide a portion of the property and sell lots to others. A developer may wish to subdivide the property and this could result in all lots fronting on Topsail Rd and running to the ocean. This option would allow up to six lots, however, providing fewer larger lots could enhance market appeal and return. Another option could see a cul-de-sac potential and if feasible, 8 or 9 lots may be possible. The options are endless and await your consideration.
The zoning is R-2 and the development standards in this zone require a minimum serviced building lot of 4839 sq ft (450 sq meters) with a street frontage of 49.2 ft (15 meters).
Asking price on this property is $799,000.
