Positioned in the heart of downtown Charlottetown, 222 Grafton Street is a rare Victorian-era over-under duplex carrying coveted DMU zoning, offering a level of flexibility seldom found within the city core. Whether envisioned as an owner-occupied income property, live-work opportunity, boutique commercial concept, professional office space, or long-term investment, the possibilities here extend far beyond traditional downtown residential use. Behind the blue cedar-shingled exterior are two distinct residences, each with private entrances, outdoor spaces, and a character all their own. The main-level residence offers over 1,000 square feet with preserved architectural warmth throughout. Original hardwood floors, solid-wood doors, tall 9-foot ceilings, French doors, a claw-foot tub, an ornamental fireplace, and natural birch cabinetry create an atmosphere that feels authentic and timeless. Large sliding doors open directly to a private rear deck and fenced backyard oasis tucked quietly behind the home, creating an unexpectedly calm outdoor setting within the downtown core. The upper residence unfolds across both the second and third floors, offering over 1,000 square feet of loft-inspired living. Exposed brick, skylights, elevated decks, expansive open spaces, and a remarkable third-floor retreat beneath vaulted rooflines create one of the more distinctive residential experiences found in Charlottetown. The top level functions beautifully as a primary suite, studio, creative workspace, or elevated entertaining area filled with natural light. The exterior environment further separates the property from typical downtown offerings with layered decking, mature trees, fencing, garden space, and multiple outdoor living areas, creating a hidden urban courtyard atmosphere rarely found within the city. Located steps from Holland College, Confederation Centre of the Arts, restaurants, cafés, theatres, parks, federal buildings, and the downtown waterfront district. (id:2493)
