540 Crescent Beach Road Crescent Beach, Nova Scotia

A timeless piece of local history, surrounded by water on the shores of Dublin Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The original post masters home, with the old postal building and other outbuildings still on the site, adding charm and character to this iconic setting. Bordered on the back by crown land, on one side Dublin Bay and the Atlantic Ocean the other, this IS that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The house will draw you in, standing tall for over 100years and longing for someone to breath life into her again, but it's the location that keeps your attention. Just past the areas famous white's sands of Crescent Beach and right before you pass the causeway onto Bell Island, the old fish shack greets you at the base of the property. A long-time fisherman's residence, in a popular fishing village on Nova Scotia's East Coast, make this a desirable ocean side retreat. The home has 4 bedrooms, 1 full bath, a classic front porch and of course loads of original trim work and moldings, a project for a craftsman. So much to see and do in this area, from card party, dances at the local hall to white sand beaches, farmers markets and much more, it would make a wonderful year- round home or seasonal escape.
