About this home

Located near Carter's Beach, Summerville Beach and White Point Resort, this spacious Edwardian home fronts directly on the Atlantic Ocean - a rare find. The Isaiah Leslie house, constructed in 1902, is a time capsule for a bygone era, located in the quiet, seaside village of Port Mouton and often cited as the most beautiful house ever built in the village. Isaiah was descended from United Empire Loyalists and was likely the most successful merchant in the village to have built such an impressive, full two and half story, 5-bedroom home with its gingerbread and fine wrap-around verandah. The house sits on an original stone foundation overlooking the ocean on a quiet, secondary road which winds its way along the coast just 15 minutes to the town of Liverpool, or a short walk to the Port Mouton village store. The main floor features a welcoming large front entry and large double parlor to greet guests. A generous sized formal dining room is at the rear of the hall, with a main floor senior bedroom tucked away to the side. Continuing through the dining room one enters what was once a large kitchen with a pantry at the rear. There is a spacious side entry from the front verandah and at the rear of the house is a family room with ocean view. The second floor features a broad hall at the top of the stairs which lends access to three bedrooms. In addition, a second hall leads to the former servant's quarters, a family bath, and a staircase to an undeveloped immense attic. The property also features one of the best-preserved carriage houses in Queens County. The house has remarkably well-preserved woodwork, with most of its original architectural detail intact. Many of the home's original antique furnishings are included with the sale of the property. Recent improvements include: a new septic system, upgraded electrical, new decks and railings, and a new hot water tank and well pump. (id:63626)
