Steeped in history and timeless elegance, this circa-1867 Queen Anne Revival home is ideally located in the heart of historic Shelburne, just steps (approximately 40 metres) from the town’s picturesque waterfront harbour. Set on a beautifully landscaped double lot, this striking two-and-a-half-storey residence showcases classic architectural details, including a steep gabled roof, intricate trim work, a welcoming front bay window, and a distinctive bay-over-bay design on the side elevation. Thoughtfully renovated and restored in 2019, the home seamlessly blends modern comforts with preserved historic charm. The main level offers a spacious mudroom with laundry, an updated kitchen, a 3-piece bath, and elegant formal dining and living rooms. The living room is a true highlight, featuring crown moldings, a cozy bay window with built-in window seat, and a wood insert fireplace that adds warmth and character. Upstairs, the home features three comfortable bedrooms, two full baths, and a generous upper foyer that enhances the sense of space and light. Modern efficiency meets peace of mind with the addition of a central heat pump and air conditioning system installed in 2024, while the original oil furnace remains in place as a reliable backup. Adding to the home’s versatility is a charming detached bunkie, measuring approximately 12' x 17'6", complete with power and heat—ideal for additional guest accommodations, a private studio, home office, or flexible living space. This exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to own a lovingly restored historic home in one of Nova Scotia’s most charming seaside towns—within walking distance of the harbour, shops, and cultural attractions of Shelburne’s renowned historic district.
