Circa 1885 Character Home in the Heart of Historic Lunenburg. Ideally located on Montague Street in Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this charming two-storey, hipped-roof home features distinctive round-headed “Roman” windows and timeless appeal. Surrounded by restaurants, shops, art galleries, and other historic homes, it’s just steps from Lunenburg’s vibrant harbourfront home to the iconic Bluenose II, sailboats, fishing vessels, and dories. In the same family since 1938, the property is zoned General Commercial, offering the flexibility to continue as a cherished family residence or explore a live/work opportunity. A number of original period details remain intact, including crown mouldings, plaster medallions, beautiful wood floors, and hot water radiators. A welcoming and spacious hallway leads to elegant living and dining rooms, separated by French doors. The main level also features a cozy family room, a bright eat-in kitchen, and a convenient powder room. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom, with lovely harbour views from this level. A walk-up attic offers ample natural light and further potential. The private, sheltered back garden is an inviting retreat, featuring a ground-level deck, perfect for morning coffee or al fresco dining. The basement has good ceiling height, laundry facilities, storage space, and direct access to the attached garage and driveway. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Lunenburg’s rich architectural heritage, whether as a home, a business, or both.
