About this home

Located along St. Mary's Bay, with its spectacular sunsets, wealth of marine life and sailing history, this Captain's home will delight buyers who appreciate the quality and character of period homes. Built circa 1870, its solid structure, distinctive architectural features, and updated systems offer the whole package. Well built and restored with care, this home will appeal to those who appreciate fine craftsmanship, original hardwood floors, doors and hardware, and period mouldings. Large, custom wood windows (2008) flood every room with natural light, and the walls are finished with period-style wallpapers (2008). The central hallway is flanked by two large parlours with bay windows. A formal dining room features the original tin ceiling, a built-in china cabinet, and garden doors. A fourth room with garden doors and closet would make a possible office or main floor bedroom. The eat-in kitchen has a hammered copper farmhouse sink, copper-coloured ceiling, and new countertops (2025). A back door leads to a mudroom and attached shed. Finally, the main floor offers a convenient 2-piece bathroom with stacking washer & dryer. The second floor features a spacious landing with a sitting area in the central dormer. The primary bedroom consists of two joined rooms with ample space for furniture. Two additional bedrooms accommodate family or guests. A beautifully tiled 4-piece bathroom feels spa-like with its porcelain-tiled floor, double tiled shower, and claw-foot soaking tub. System updates from 2008 include new plumbing, wiring, insulation, kitchen, baths, and a rebuilt veranda. Other updates include a new furnace, fibreglass oil tank, whole-home water filtration, roof re-shingled in 2022, and fresh interior/exterior paint (2024-2025). The large outbuilding has a full loft, rooms that were once a gallery, and accommodates a single vehicle. Close to seaside parks, beaches, wineries, farm markets, and whale watching, with all amenities just 15 minutes away in Digby. (id:66966)
