5 Gallivan's Lane - For Sale

 

 

 

 

Here is your opportunity to buy a century home, built in the 19th century, in the heart of the heritage area of Trinity. It awaits the hand of a buyer who will take on renovations in keeping with the good bones and integrity of the structure. Up until a short time ago, the home was lived in on a year round basis which could be the case again, unless the buyer chose to buy the premises as a seasonal residence. The location also lends itself to this property being set up as a B&B or operated as a seasonal residence and turned over to the local rental pool of seasonal operators when not in use by the owner.

 

Trinity is a very historic community with town guidelines that will protect and enhance the integrity of the local streetscapes and architecture. A proposed new town plan will further strengthen this direction.

 

You will indeed enjoy the mix of local residents, (among the finest around), seasonal residents and tourists around the world. You can also enjoy great local theatre, fine restaurants, fair trade coffee at Trinity Mercantile, berry picking, cod fishing, hiking the many trails including Skerwink, and the many historic sites.

 

The home is quite spacious with approx 1814 Sq ft spread over three floors. The main floor has living room , dining room, kitchen and two porches. The second level has three bedrooms, one which has an adjacent nursery. The attic has two undeveloped rooms.

 

The two story shed behind the house awaits the woodworker who may wish to set up a workshop.

 

Sailors and boaters will enjoy the 22 miles of Trinity Harbour coastline and can explore the many resettled communities on the islands and coastal headlands in Trinity Bay.

 

Sea Kayakers will enjoy a wonderful venue with a cave to explore at the harbour entrance and the Freshwater falls can be explored after a paddle of about 15 minutes. A boil up on one of the many beaches with freshly harvested mussels is a real treat.
