Heritage cape house - true to its past, yet home to modern conveniences
Outstanding private hideaway on seven acres - long-established, maintenance free, gardens;
orchard; century old woods with walking trails
This elegant mid-1800s
residence is set amidst seven acres of mature trees, gardens and woodland trails. The
focal point is a 32 foot living room with burnished plank floors and fireplace
flanked by rich cabinetry.
Solid and stately, there are four bedrooms, a renovated
kitchen, main floor library, a lovely garden room and a delightful Romeo & Juliet
balcony.
A substantial outbuilding would be ideal as a child's playhouse, studio or workshop.
Set on a private road, this stunning property offers a rare combination of country ambiance and
town amenities.

These photos were taken on the main level, from left: an elegant welcome home; a charming
galley kitchen with pastoral view and a trusty Lunenburg Foundry wood stove to bring warmth to
the room.
These second floor photos are, from left, two of the four bedrooms. Each is home to its
own unique qualities, plenty of light from the windows and surprisingly, an abundance of storage and closets.

gardens.
