The bulk of our properties reside on over 2.5 acres of mature trees and gardens in the Waterford valley area at the west end of St. John\u2019s. Many of the estates in the area can trace their histories to the early 20th century, when many of the city\u2019s merchant class families constructed their homes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]One of our main anchor properties, Leaside Manor was constructed in 1921 by John J. Parker, of legendary Parker & Monroe local footwear retail chain, and his new wife Flora. The couple named the property \u2018The Lea\u2019 meaning \u2018meadow.\u2019 The style of the house is unique for Newfoundland, inspired by the Scottish homestead of the Doulton family, of Royal Doulton fame, near where Flora spent her formative years in Kilmacolm, Scotland. The house\u2019s exterior maintains much of its original construction: Tudor styling; cedar siding; unique stylized roof lines; colonial columns; lead-lined windows; double, beveled, plate glass doors at the entranceway; expansive lot with sweeping walkway; heavily treed lot; wrought iron fencing and double-gated drive. The property\u2019s interior is influenced by the Arts and Craft movement of the early 20th century with its beamed ceilings, paneled walls, parquet wood floor, light sconces, ornate fireplaces, and inlaid wood flooring.<\/p>\n

As proud as they are of their properties, present owners Dion and Dora Finlay know it is more than bricks and mortar that placed Leaside at the top of its field \u2013 it\u2019s the experience. Leaside Suites & Executive Apartments is renowned for combining glorious properties and rich, contemporary d\u00e9cor with an unmatched level of personal service that has been recognized by TripAdvisor as the best in the city.<\/p>\n

Dion and Dora are understandably pleased. \u201cMost visitors talk about how nice the experience was first \u2013 then they mention how pretty everything is. For us, it\u2019s the best of all worlds.\u201d<\/p>\n
