Circa 1765 Christian Ernst built one of three exquisite capes on a hill overlooking the little seaport of Mahone Bay. Everything is still in place in this post & beam treasure: mouldings, beams, floorboards, chair rails, wainscoting (28 inch boards), gun stock corners, cross & bible doors, lots of original hardware, early Welsh dresser in the keeping room & superb corner cabinet in the parlour. The massive central fireplace (w/ original crane) still has its 'bee-hive' bake oven.
The restoration & additions have been true to the period & today this old homestead is a liveable home worthy of any heritage mention. A shake roof, six over six windows, 2nd new fireplaces, flagstone walkways & a deck looking down on the three famous town spires.
A small barn, 5 acres of field & lawn with magnificent trees.
Systems are all good & the foundation solid. Current decor reflects the 1980's but that is largely superficial. This treasure is worthy of the effort! Full upgrade details available on request.
From pretty Mahone Bay, head East on Highway 3. Take the first road (driveway) on the right. Take the middle drive up the hill. Property includes the field on the left. Look for Coastal Winds Realty sign!
