Set on just over an acre only minutes from downtown Charlottetown, this beautifully restored 1870s Island farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to embrace the best of Prince Edward Island living. Just a short walk from Mermaid Cove, with deeded access to a private beach where you can launch a kayak, paddleboard, or small boat. The grounds feature a thriving orchard with MacIntosh and Cortland apple trees, Bartlett pears, black cherries, cultivated blackberries, strawberries, and a large organic vegetable garden. A thoughtfully designed outbuilding has housed laying hens for years, making this an ideal property for anyone dreaming of a backyard micro farm and fresh eggs each morning. Blending timeless Island character with exceptional modern design, a stunning barn-inspired addition completed in 2022 dramatically expanded the home.
