Nestled in a parkland setting, this 1.5 storey, Victorian Gothic style home stately sits on a large lot with a peaceful river flowing behind it. Featuring 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, the main floor hosts a mud room, dining room, kitchen with pantry, study, full bath, and living room. The second floor is home to four large bedrooms, and a bathroom that offers a relaxing soaker tub, and vintage sink. The front entry offers original stained glass windows. The floors are original restored hardwood and softwood. Inspired by the Victorian era, the kitchen is open to the dining room with exposed beams, custom curly maple live edge counters, acacia shelving, a large farm style sink, and a stunning wood cook stove that features a removable ceramic cover for cooking and an overhead warmer for baking. A pantry sits off the kitchen for extra storage. The pointed arch, an architectural highlight of the Gothic style home, boasts a large chandelier and exposed beams. Outside, a Toja Grid system has been installed as a catio, with two cat access points from inside which could easily be used as a screen room. A nautical themed rope fence defines the front of the property, along with a culinary herb garden, and apple orchard. The property offers a large wired and insulated Old Hickory Building with a wrap around deck, a second wired shed, and a wood shed. With some of the best salmon fishing in Nova Scotia in the backyard, a few minutes walk along the lovely park trails you will encounter Hopewell’s heritage swinging bridge.
