Sale... Lunenburg Waterfront Heritage Home - Nova Scotia, Canada

A sturdy vintage home fronting on Lunenburg Harbour directly across from this legendary Nova Scotia town, it commands an unobstructed view of colourful and historic Lunenburg (founded in 1753 and an officially designated UNESCO World Heritage Site). The Bluenose 2, a working replica of the world famous racing schooner, docks directly opposite. The town centre is a pleasant fifteen minute harbourside walk.

Built circa 1870, it features a substantial addition which is about 100 years old. This is a house with real character and its current owners have worked to return it to much of its original charm. The downstairs area includes a new kitchen, a living room, a dining room, a music room / library, an office, a three piece bath, a laundry area and a back pantry. The upstairs features four bedrooms, a three piece bath and a large common area with a breathtaking harbour view. There is a garage, a back patio, several flower gardens and good sized landscaped front and back yards.
View from the porch
The present owners feel that one of this home's strongest assets is the front porch with its magnificent view of the town and the harbour. Many a pleasant evening has been spent watching sailboats and fishing trawlers come and go and the activities of the seagulls, ducks, loons, osprey, cormorants, great blue herons and bald eagles.

Just a nine iron away is the Bluenose Golf Course
