Welcome to 218 King Street East The Peters House. Built in 1885, this remarkable residence stands as one of Saint Johns most ornate and historically intact single-family homes. Stepping inside youre greeted by the homes grandeur, a beautifully detailed archway in the foyer sets the tone for the period charm that follows. To the left are two impressive parlours with 13-foot ceilings, large pocket doors, stately marble fireplaces, crown moldings, original unpainted woodwork, and tall bay windows with original wood shutters that fill the rooms with natural light.
