Overview:

Period homes are tricky to do well, and this one is done very well indeed. Two and a half floors, with interior decorating done to superb standards, the furniture and decorations declare this to be a Victorian style home of quality and taste. The house has been a successful B&B, but this could be an ideal doctor`s residence, or home for a larger family. The nearby golf and upscale home development, together with the Fortress, the expected new harbour facilities and beautiful nearby beaches make Louisbourg a very attractive community. Most furnishings, decorations and contents are included.

Comment:

The house is about 150 yards from the harbour shore and gives an excellent view of passing fishing boats and the occasional cruise ship. The large deck with dipping pool is a comfortable and private place to enjoy the sights.

The house has good storage space, an attached finished, heated garage. The top floor has a skylight and an expansive ocean view.

The furnishings and woodwork are reflect the Victorian period when the house was built. Various antiques and collectibles are located throughout the home and are an integral part of the offering.

Details:

There are still a few windows that need attention or replacement with an estimate of about $2000 to complete those changes. The house is in very good condition and, while old, has been very well preserved and upgraded. A new outside chimney with steel liner was installed recently.

Directions:

In town, off Main Street.
