Step into a rare piece of Nova Scotia history on the beautiful South Shore. Set on a spacious 1.02-acre lot, this extraordinary 225-year-old residence has been extensively rebuilt from the studs, seamlessly blending timeless character with modern finishes and functionality. Ideally located just a short bike ride to Mahone Bay and a short drive to both Mahone Bay and Lunenburg, this unique property features three fully legal units, offering exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, rental income, or investment potential. Surrounded by charming local restaurants, local businesses, and the scenic South Shore Adventure Trail, the location captures the very best of coastal living. The main residence offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and an efficient heat pump system, along with impressive energy efficiency, with current owners reportedly spending approximately only $600 in wood for the entire winter heating season. The second unit is a private 1-bedroom, 1-bath suite with its own power meter, HVAC, and water tank. The third legal unit features 1 bedroom plus a den, its own heat pump, separate power meter, HVAC, and water tank. Adding even more value, the current zoning permits the construction of an additional unit, creating future expansion and income potential rarely found in historic South Shore properties. The property also offers extensive parking for up to 7 vehicles, providing convenience for homeowners, tenants, and guests alike. A truly rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored historic home offering character, lifestyle, and investment potential all in one. (id:58753)
