133 Pleasant Street, Mahone Bay

Welcome to beautiful Mahone Bay by the sea. Master mariner Clary Burgoyne built this home for his family in 1923 and it has been occupied by his descendants for 100 years. Clary was a crew member of the Bluenose I for its famed last races off Gloucester, Massachusetts's. The home is a classic two and a half story "four square", with a covered front verandah across its front. It features a gracious, exceptionally large front foyer, spacious living-room and formal dining room - accessed through double doors from the front parlour or single door from the kitchen. The main floor powder room is discretely tucked away off the rear entry, which also conveniently houses a laundry. This home boasts its original trim and beautiful wood floors. The second floor has two bedrooms in front, a small middle bedroom ( ideal as an office) and a corner bedroom adjacent the family bath at the rear of the second floor. The walk-up attic is ideal for seasonal items or those keepsakes we don't wish to part with. A full basement would serve well for garden storage or a workshop as it has its own entry door from the back garden. A single car garage at the end of a paved driveway for two cars, is a welcome addition to this fine home. The covered front verandah would likely become your favorite respite with a good book in the cool summer breeze. Set on a quiet street, this home is a short walking distance to shopping and the ocean. It has had full upgrades including: ducted heat-pump furnace, metal roof, wiring, insulation, newer windows, upgraded baths and remodeled eat-in kitchen. A short easy stroll to the amenities of Main Street and the ocean at the community wharf. Just one hour's drive to Halifax or Stanfield International Airport. A classic, Lunenburg County, sea captains' house, framed in old-growth Hemlock - withstanding the tests of time. This home of simple design will certainly provide a warm safe home for many generations to come. (id:1945)
