Welcome to one of Lunenburg's most distinctive homes. 82 Duke Street enjoys a commanding presence, sitting proudly on a double lot at the corner of 2 quiet Old-Town streets. An architectural delight with its gracious wrap-around verandah, wide bays and corner turret.
Inside, discover a complimentary contrast in styles and finishes. This wonderful home offers the best of both worlds – the sleek contemporary kitchen/eating/den area anchors the main floor and provides for comfort and casual everyday living, while the more traditional living & dining rooms showcase beautiful original features…hardwood floors, stained glass, bay windows, pocket doors, built-in cabinetry, and heavy mouldings & trimwork. Wide openings between principal rooms and a foyer spacious enough to host a dance create the ultimate entertaining space. But don't be fooled by the generous room proportions and square footage…this home retains a warmth and coziness with 2 propane fireplaces and several quiet ‘curl up with a good book’ spaces to enjoy when it’s just the two of you. 2 full and 2 half baths, including a stylish powder room on the main floor, a lavish main bath and vintage guest bath on the 2nd floor, plus a powder room ensuite for the primary bedroom. Two guest bedrooms and a wide hall complete the upstairs and there’s potential for additional living space in the unfinished attic. The lower level features a high and dry basement, partly finished with storage area and laundry room with sauna & shower.
Outside, enjoy this quiet Old-Town neighbourhood from the covered verandah or hide away on the surprisingly private back deck which is accessed via French doors off the Kitchen, making it ideal for summer-time al fresco dining. There’s a double carriage house/garage and plenty of off-street parking for your cars, which you’ll rarely need as the downtown shops and services are just a 2 minute stroll away.
Old Town Lunenburg, corner of Duke and Lawrence Streets. Look for the Red Door Realty sign!
