Property Description
A distinctive piece of Mahone Bay history, thoughtfully enhanced for modern living. This charming historic home retains its welcoming covered verandah, gently curved roof and centred front entrance with multi-paned transom and sidelights. Its understated elegance is quintessential Mahone Bay, inviting passers-by to slow down and admire its character. Inside, the central-hall plan preserves original period details including a beautiful Victorian staircase, softwood-plank floors and 19th-century trim. The living room opens through a generous archway from the foyer, while the original formal parlour offers flexible use as a bedroom, office or sitting room, with ensuite bath/laundry nearby. The open-concept dine-in country kitchen overlooks the back garden. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a spacious central hall with sitting area and a family bath with tub and shower. Since 2024, the property has benefited from substantial improvements, including a new double heated and insulated garage with its own heat pump and electrical meter, a renovated barn, paved driveway, 200-amp electrical upgrade, ducted heat pump, kitchen improvements with new cabinetry and Corian countertops, new deck and hot tub, fenced yard, stone patio and greenhouse. Basement spray foam and bathroom updates, new lighting, doors and numerous additional upgrades further enhance the home. The rare original carriage barn adds to the property's historic appeal and offers excellent storage or workshop potential. With approximately three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an exceptional 14,778 sq. ft. lot, this is a rare combination of heritage charm, modern infrastructure and generous outdoor space. Located in the heart of beloved Mahone Bay, enjoy the waterfront, colourful heritage streetscapes, iconic churches, independent shops, galleries and cafés, all surrounded by the beauty of Nova Scotia's South Shore. A special home where timeless character meets thoughtful modern improvements.
