318 Granville Street Bridgetown, Nova Scotia B0S 1C0

Historic Nova Scotian property in charming & vibrant community of Bridgetown. The Morse-Magwood home was built in 1860 and is an exceptional example of Second Empire architecture. The distinctive convex mansard roof and ornate woodwork set it apart from anything else on the market. At over 4500 sq ft, with 6 large bedrooms and 2.5 baths (& plumbed for bath on 3rd floor), this would make a great B&B. Great care was taken to restore the original character of this home, while updating to a modern standard. Major upgrades to electrical, plumbing, insulation and foundation since 1985. Recent roof, paint, oil tank, hot water heater. No maintenance overlooked! Most woodwork has been lovingly restored to its original grandeur, including immaculate detail on the staircase & fireplaces. Beautifully landscaped lot - perennial beds, shade trees and shrubs. Situated on Granville Street, Bridgetown's main street. This is a STEAL of a deal from motivated owners; great opportunity to own a piece of Nova Scotia's history at a great price. Don't miss out!
6 Bed · 2.5 Bath · 4,515 Sq Ft · 0.44 Ac.
