About this home

Offered for only the second time since it was built in 1855, this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath Victoria Beach home has been thoughtfully restored with deep respect for its history. The comprehensive 2024 renovation honours the home's original character while introducing carefully considered materials, bespoke details, and artistic touches. Every decision reflects a disciplined design philosophy, allowing the home's story to remain at the forefront. Beyond the visible finishes, the renovation extends to virtually every aspect of the home, including all new windows, fresh interior and exterior paint, new lighting, two new heat pumps, a new wood stove, electric baseboard heating, and numerous infrastructure upgrades. Natural light and water views from many of the principal rooms draw the eye throughout the home, where original features and contemporary additions complement one another. Outside, pollinator gardens, raised vegetable beds, natural stone walls and hardscaping, commissioned iron railings, and custom window boxes create outdoor spaces that evolve throughout the year. A newly constructed four-season studio, connected by a raised walkway, provides versatile space apart from the main home, while the revived garden shed sits comfortably within the landscape. The gardens give way to mature woodland, creating a private natural backdrop. Whether from the spacious front verandah or the deck off the four-season studio, watch the Digby-Saint John ferry cross the Bay of Fundy, take in sunsets over the water, and enjoy the lights along the wharf as evening falls. Walk to the nearby lighthouse or explore the shoreline and quiet roads that wind through the close-knit coastal community of Victoria Beach. Just 20 minutes away, a scenic coastal drive leads to historic Annapolis Royal, a vibrant town home to galleries, cafés, restaurants, and a renowned farmers' market. (id:63626)
