Property Description
Waterfront living, sweeping south-facing views to Annapolis Royal and historic Fort Anne, across waters once sailed by tall ships, and your own shoreline access for swimming, kayaking and boating define this exceptional maritime family residence. Featured as the Globe & Mail's "Home of the Week" (May 2026), the restored Captain Joseph Hall House, c.1881, combines period craftsmanship with the comfort of a meticulously maintained home. Inside, rich wide-plank flooring, twin formal parlours, restored tin ceilings, and a grand central staircase showcase the home's distinctive character. The Wedgwood blue dining room retains its intricate "wedding cake" plaster frieze, while the bespoke kitchen with marble countertops opens to a welcoming family room with cast iron propane stove. With 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, including a primary ensuite with in-floor heating, the home provides generous space for family & guests. A full-height walk-up attic offers additional potential. The ornate two-storey carriage house, with plumbing and 60-amp service, offers workshop, studio, fitness or future-use potential. The waterfront parcel includes a gazebo, spacious seating area and water access. Now enjoyed entirely as a private home, the property was once Nova Scotia's first registered Bed & Breakfast, welcoming guests for more than 50 years. Its history includes Captain Hall's daughter, Bessie Hall, Nova Scotia's famed "Seafaring Maiden." Thoughtfully upgraded while preserving its period character, improvements include a recently reshingled roof, freshly painted exterior, ducted and ductless heat pumps, upgraded insulation and plumbing, and 200-amp electrical service. All within walking distance of Annapolis Royal's restaurants, cafés, theatre, galleries, markets and year-round activities, offering a blend of recreation, culture and community.
