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. (id:62650)
