Description

A storied character home, 11659 Highway 16 sits on 2.61 acres across 3 PIDs. Mature trees, perennials gardens and park-like lawns frame the home which dates back to the early 1900s. Its classic Edwardian silhouette has been tastefully updated with architectural shingles (2020) and low-maintenance vinyl siding and windows. Inside, the heritage shows in the small things. Refurbished hardwood floors

run room to room. Original Douglas Fir trim frames every door. A decorative fireplace anchors the formal living room. From the dining room, the eye is pulled into a generous four-season sunroom that runs the full front of the home and beyond it, out to the harbour. Custom cabinetry and quartz counters wrap a centre island with 5-burner gas cooktop, set off by a clean subway-tile backsplash. The powder room and home office (ideal for work-from-home in rural Nova Scotia) completes the main floor. A wide centre staircase leads to three generous bedrooms upstairs, including a primary suite with walk-in closet, ensuite with double vanity and walk-in shower, and a private den tucked into a canted bay window a true Edwardian hallmark, and the best reading nook in the house. The partially finished lower level adds a rec room and dedicated laundry. Behind the period details, the house lives quietly modern: a ducted heat pump for year-round heating and cooling and blown-in insulation keep this 120-year-old home easy to run today. Guysborough County is best known for its rugged coast and unspoiled nature, but the everyday essentials are also close at hand. Within 10 km: grocery store, bank, library, restaurants, a hospital, and a curling club. Antigonish and StFX University are a 40-minute drive. (id:62650)
