Overview:
Remarkable 8 bedroom (6 plus 2 in basement), 5 bath expanded and renovated historic building on .87 of an acre. Lovely views of Baddeck Bay and the Bras D'Or. Owners added large family room, additional bedrooms and modernized kitchen. Ample space for several generations or the option to continue its near capacity occupancy success as a B&B. A full, partially finished basement, with ceilings well over 8 feet suggest anything from an (already plumbed) hot tub, to workshop and office space, as well as additional bedrooms. Roof, siding and windows were new in 2002.

 

Comment:

The original smaller home was built in 1897 but the house was never lived in by its builder due to the untimely death of his wife. Following residence by a minister and his wife for about 35 years, the Gordon MacAulays acquired the property, living there until the sale to the present owners. The black & white photo of the house on this site is likely over 70 years old. VIEW PHOTO
