1843 East Petpeswick Road

1843 East Petpeswick Road - This beautifully restored historic boasts an open ocean and panoramic Inlet views. Sitting on 1.5 Acres, it has a wonderful blend of years gone by with a new extension incorporating a main floor primary bedroom/bath. The original home was built around 1870 for the Anderson family, one of the area’s earlier settlers. Captain William Anderson sold the property in 1935. The present owners purchased in 2008 and undertook a major restoration including the 700 SF addition, with a laundry and garage. The captain’s house restoration involved all new, virtually maintenance free, vinyl exterior envelope, in-wall insulation, new plumbing and electrical systems with new foundation and a 4-foot craw space. Care was taken to preserve original architectural features, like hand-painted doors/trim from the turn of the last century. An in-floor electric hot water heating system in the new addition and first floor of the Captain’s house created efficiency. The layout allows separation of the Captain’s house from the addition, for a seasonal rental or multi-family living. The attached 1.5 car garage with workshop space and loft is easily finished for additional live/work space and boasts expansive views east and west. Freshly painted, this warm and inviting home is move-in ready, where many historical details will delight the discerning buyer. Incredible sunsets await, and a sandy beach across the road is available at low tide. A path leads up the lot to a cleared area atop the hill, to watch the traffic in the Inlet. Just a short distance to Martinique Beach Provincial Park and Wildlife Sanctuary, Yacht Club, Musquodobit Harbour’s hospital, and every amenity you need. Only 30 minute commute to Dartmouth, this area of the Eastern Shore is one of the most pristine in all of Nova Scotia offering commuting convenience, playing and simply enjoying that East Coast lifestyle!
