A 150 yr old traditional cape house with the charm and character of a late1800’s, a 1.5 story home with a mix of modern restorations and original character such as wide plank flooring, classic molding, a tin decorative ceiling and the architecturally distinctive Lunenburg Bump. The property enjoys spectacular views of Rose Bay through many of its windows. Sit on the front verandah and watch the boats and many birds that use the protected harbour. Explore it yourself with a deeded oceanfront lot across the road or sit among mature apple trees to watch wildlife wander by or spend your evenings star gazing with an open dark sky. The main level welcomes you with a spacious mud room, a bright kitchen open to the dining room, a large living area, den and a full bath. The upper level consists of 3 bedrooms, a sunroom and another full bath. The home also enjoys many essential updates such as electrical and insulation. While the home is move in ready and offers comfortable living as-is, it also presents a fantastic opportunity to make it your own by adding your own creative touches or renovations. Included with the property is a large original post and beam barn that evokes a sense of rustic charm and a bygone era. The weathered wood tells the story of years spent in the elements, having provided space for farm animals, storage of fishing equipment and a place to engage in hobbies like woodworking. The central section has soaring ceilings and 2 lofts. The other two sections are spacious yet offer a cozy feeling. This barn was an essential part of a family’s livelihood but awaits your reimagined use. Hirtles Beach and Gaff Point are a short bicycle ride away. The Rose Bay General Store and Bistro are equally close. Other shops, amenities and attractions are within 20 mins drive and Halifax is just over an hour. A perfect year-round or seasonal house to enjoy waterfront living, in one of the most sought-after locations on the South Shore.
Take The Lighthouse Route (332) towards Rose Bay. Take Kingsburg Road (at the Rose Bay General) towards Kingsburg. Property on the right, civic #406 on the right. See the sign.
