Presenting an 1882 heritage character home with many upgrades over the years. The property is a rare 3.82 acre private escape in Marriotts Cove with many secret paths and landscaped natural destinations. As you stroll down the property, the peek-a-boo water view of the islands of Mahone Bay unfolds. The view can be greatly expanded by selectively cutting down more trees.
This well maintained home has a solid structure and beautiful layout. Some of the features included are a metal roof and European radiant heaters. There is over 1500 square feet of living space including open principal rooms on the main level including the dining and living rooms, study and kitchen. The whole family can easily fit into the second floor, with three bedrooms (and additional storage room that could be turned into a fourth) as well as a full bathroom. Also, there is lots of dry clean storage space in the attic that could be finished for additional living space.
A short stroll down Wake Up Hill leads to a walk or bike ride along scenic Marriotts Cove. So central. It’s just a few minutes drive to the village of Chester. For commuting or day trips, drive 45 minutes to Halifax, 30 minutes to Bridgewater, 1 hour to Stanfield International Airport, and only 15 minutes to the shops in Mahone Bay.
Vibrant healthy mature trees, shrubs and gardens adorn the property. Walking paths in the woods with many naturalized flowering plants such as rhododendrons, daffodils, Solomon’s seal, a “lake” of blue periwinkles, and a fern wood with a seasonal natural pond at the bottom of the hill. Easy living with a large woodshed for the wood stove and a garden shed for all the tools and mower. A thirty-foot-high cedar wall at the north side of the property is in place for privacy screening. Huge two bay garage with several insulated additional units. A hobby enthusiasts dream space. A new deck was added with big foot underpinnings so that the house can be extended in that direction. The property is a bird watchers paradise with many cardinals and pheasants. Glorious starry skies with no street light interference are perfect conditions for the amateur astronomer. Be sure to contact the municipality for subdivision. There may be potential for three or four view lots depending on surveying and engineering results.
