About this residence

Welcome to 178 Borden Avenue in Borden-Carleton, PEI! This charming property, built 107 years ago, has a rich history and has undergone remarkable transformations. It served as a hospital during the Spanish Flu outbreak of 1918-1919, then became a church, and has since been converted into a cozy two-bedroom, two-bathroom family home with an office that could also be a third bedroom. The current owner, an artist, has effectively used the foyer/entrance and a spacious 27' x 18.6' room at the front of the house to showcase her work, demonstrating its excellent potential as a business space. Its prime location, just minutes from the Confederation Bridge, Gateway Village, and the beach, makes it an ideal opportunity for an entrepreneur, further enhanced by its residential/commercial zoning. Around 2010, the building underwent extensive renovations, including being taken down to the studs, redesigned, rewired, and replumbed. Modern updates include 200 amp service, a new metal roof and eavestroughs installed in 2015, All interior doors are 34", making future wheelchair accessibility possible.
