4 John Street

Built in 1889 by Dartmouth industrialist John F. Stairs, 4 John Street is a beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home with a story to tell. Originally constructed as a premium residence during the thriving era of the Dartmouth Ropeworks, the home remains connected to that history today. Directly across the street, Victoria Park is home to the Ropeworks Community Garden, established in 2013 and cared for by neighbourhood volunteers. A distinctive roofline and late-Victorian detailing create immediate character, while original hardwood floors and millwork have been thoughtfully preserved throughout the living room and dining room. Step inside to a welcoming main hallway leading into the bright, south-facing living room overlooking quiet John Street and Victoria Park. The spacious dining room offers plenty of room to gather and flows naturally into the well-configured kitchen, complete with ample storage, updated countertops, backsplash, and lighting. A convenient rear mudroom provides direct access to the oversized, fully fenced backyard. Up the newly refinished staircase, a generous landing connects three well-proportioned bedrooms and a charming 3-piece bathroom with clawfoot tub & view of the MacDonald Bridge. Downstairs, the full basement provides excellent space for laundry, utilities, and storage. Thoughtfully modernized while respecting its original character, the home features ductless heating and cooling, an efficient hot-water boiler supplying the original radiators, updated electrical, fresh paint, and meticulous craftsmanship throughout. Rich in history, beautifully maintained, and completely move-in ready, 4 John Street offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Dartmouth in an exceptional location just minutes from shops, services, parks, restaurants, and everything downtown Dartmouth has to offer.
