LOCATION
Around 1880 an old master mariner selected this esteemed location to build his little house probably more for the practicality of being amidst the bustling waterfront, rather than for what we would see as the romance of the setting. Sitting across from it is the distinctive red building known as the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic together with its complex of wooden wharves and historic array of sailing vessels, at times including Nova Scotia’s icon “Bluenose”.

THE PROPERTY
This pretty house has its entrance and semi-formal gabled end at Montague Street and is protruding from the steep hillside overlooking the waterfront. A windowed addition has extended both the main level on Montague Street and lower level beyond the original footprint. The into-the-hillside flat, has a great view, an expansive deck and contains a “not so big” two-bedroom apartment. The main level of the 2 1/2 storey house consists of the kitchen, dining room, a small den and a delectable sunroom cum living room that is nothing less than a most splendid perch overlooking the waterfront. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bath. This is a dynamic residential location or, by cliché, prime commercial. Maybe a perfect blend of both!
