Property Description
Centrally located in the incredibly scenic Spencer’s Island community, this property is just up the street from the lighthouse and the beach. On half an acre the land features gardens sloping down for views of the Bay of Fundy. Positioned to capture south facing exposure, this six-bedroom 2-bathroom home has 2,743 square feet of living space, and an additional 28 X 45-foot two story barn. Oodles of space for guests, extended family, hobbies, and storage. There are several “flex” spaces in the layout including a den, living, and media room. The sixth bedroom would make a great library. It is truly summer barbecue heaven on the 35 x 15-foot deck. Often referred to “Captain Spicer’s Home” has just passed the one and a half century mark, but has many modern and functional attributes; water conditioning, a gas range, a wood stove and a backup generator. The highly rated Wild Caraway Restaurant in Advocate Harbour is a five-minute drive. For all your amenities, Parrsboro is a quick 35km trip. There are parks, beaches, and hiking trails in every direction. Furnishings and contents are all included, so it is turnkey for a quick occupancy!
