7526 Highway 3, Martins River

Originally built in 1886, what was once St. Martin's Anglican Church is a classic wood frame Nova Scotian church with well preserved stained glass windows that has been modernized in a tasteful way. In early 2000's, the entire church was raised and full, poured concrete foundation added to the now fully finished walk out lower level. Modern holding tank for sewer added. Currently, the church is being used as a principle residence, Airbnb, gallery space and art studio. With ample square footage, a restaurant sized kitchen, a tasteful minimalist style renovation, and 20 foot ceilings, the church offers commercial clients an opportunity to create a truly unique setting for their business. Direct access to the rails to trails and close to Oak Island resort and it's namesake treasure island, and just down the road from the heart of Mahone Bay, the church is an ideal location for a business to benefit from its the ever increasing popularity of the South Shore as a hub for tourism. The current owner has done numerous major renovations since taking ownership. Additions include two heat pumps, two custom bathrooms, the original wide-plank soft-wood flooring in the main hall was uncovered and restored, vinyl flooring throughout the lower level , the back attached building was insulated and currently used as storage with a bonus loft room ready for your imagination and more! From the photos it is obvious how gorgeous a space this is! Come see for yourself. (id:1945)
