49 High Ridge Rd, Saint John, NB E2K 4H1

Situated in one of Millidgeville’s most established and sought after neighbourhoods. This stately 4 bedroom home offers a rare combination of privacy, character, and potential. Surrounded by mature trees and set back from the bustle of daily life, the property enjoys seasonal views of the Kennebecasis River, just minutes from the RKYC, M. Gerald Teed Elementary School, UNB Saint John, the regional hospital, golf courses, Rockwood Park, and waterfront amenities. A grand central staircase creates an impressive first impression, while rich dark hardwood flooring extends throughout the main level. Historic trim, doors, and architectural details repurposed from a 19th century Uptown Saint John property add warmth, craftsmanship, and a sense of history rarely found in today’s homes. Designed for family living and entertaining, the spacious main floor features a large open living/dining room with fireplace, a separate family room, and a distinctive den with dark wainscoting, ideal as a library, home office, or private retreat. The kitchen offers generous counter space and plenty of potential. Upstairs, four well proportioned bedrooms provide ample space for a growing family. A private second floor patio offers a peaceful treetop escape with seasonal views of the Kennebecasis River. A full bathroom serves the upper level, while a powder room completes the main floor. The fully finished basement adds valuable living space with a guest room, additional full bathroom, direct access to the built in garage, and a large cedar closet. While the home requires updating and renovation, it presents a remarkable opportunity to restore and enhance a property of genuine character. Opportunities of this calibre are increasingly rare, where location, lot, seasonal river views, architecture, and history combine to create an investment worthy project. For buyers with vision, this classic residence offers exceptional potential in one of Saint John’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
