A nearly year long extensive restoration was just completed on this charming circa 1874 farmhouse. The current owner is an experienced interior designer with a love of old houses and authentic detail. Overseeing the project, his vision was to give the house an authentic Atlantic coast country cottage look and feel. Every detail was carefully considered; what to repair and what to leave as it is, wanting to retain the character and charm of a well loved home. Sourcing antique elements from around the province and in some cases from around the world. These include light fixtures, cabinetry, kitchen counter top, doors, windows, vintage bathtub. The bathroom hand shower and basin taps came out of the luxury Dorchester hotel in London England (what stories they could tell). there is a beautiful (and very practical) cast iron utility/laundry sink on its original stand in the mud room, and many more fabulous details. The restoration was completed from ground up starting with the foundation, drainage system, new 10 inch wide solid local hemlock floorboards which were installed in every room (except for the living room), entirely new electrical system (certified and to the most up to date code), entirely new plumbing, well pump, sump pump, hot water tank, pressure tank, new stove, fridge and large capacity dryer. Lefroy Brooks kitchen faucet, a new steel chimney and wood burning stove. The exterior has been painted with several coats of high quality paint. It not only looks great but it will also withstand the elements for many years to come. The house sits on a very private lot with many mature trees on and around the property. The house is furnished with high quality antiques that were collected over many years and are also available for purchase. This is a wonderful cottage or year round home for someone who wants to be in a peaceful setting but close to the Annapolis Royal and Digby areas. Close wineries, golf, cafe's farmers markets, shops and all other amenities.
