Dreaming of escaping the rat race and finding a simpler life? Well, this quintessential Lunenburg County century home, complete with Lunenburg “bump”, is just what the doctor ordered and sure to brighten your day and put a smile on your face. The charming home has been thoroughly renovated and updated over the past 9 years making it the ideal abode for a comfortable and worry-free lifestyle. Equally soothing is the country setting on peaceful North Side Rd, a tranquil enclave of Riverport with many similarly charming and well-loved character homes.
The home faces south and enjoys brilliant natural light, and interior spaces achieve a sense of volume with their high ceilings, large windows and neutral colour palette. The pretty front parlour is adorned with its wonderful original tin ceiling and newer custom stained-glass panels. Just off the living room is the thoughtfully designed kitchen which offers ample cupboard and counter space, plus a little breakfast nook to savour morning coffee. The main floor also features a cozy den and large dining room with walkout to a private little back deck. A convenient main level powder room with laundry and access to the very tidy basement complete the main level…no scary old house basement here!
There are 4 bedrooms upstairs and a bright family bathroom, but you’ll want to spend all your time in the front bump with its pretty views out to Ritcey’s Cove with the Lahave River in the distance. The walk-up attic provides easy access to terrific storage for all your Christmas decorations and much more, or great development potential for some really cool added living space!
The very manageable yard has 3 handy outbuildings -- a tidy garden shed in the back corner of the lot, a serviceable garage and a delightful little studio/workshop building. There’s room for all your hobbies and recreational equipment which you’ll need to take full advantage of the nearby beaches and hiking trails.
It’s a 5-minute bike ride to the popular Rose Bay General Store & Bistro, a few minutes further to stunning Hirtle’s Beach, and less than 15 minutes to vibrant Lunenburg. Equally accessible is the “other” side of the river…just pop across on the nearby Lahave Ferry and grab lunch and fresh baked goods at the famous Lahave Bakery, then continue on to explore 3 more fabulous beaches within a 10 minute’s drive.
Now, doesn’t that sound like the lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of? …Well, pinch yourself, this is no dream!
