This property is being featured in Saltscapes Magazine December 2009
This unique and historic home, in the process of sensitive restoration, is filled with unusual features such as the original ships-ladder stairway, massive stone double fireplace, planks and beams. This is a ship lovers dream.
Built by Captain McPherson in 1775, the home is distinguished by being the very first building to be constructed in Pictou Landing. A memorial plaque discovered in the walls, shows the McPherson's still owned the property 115 years later. Now 134 years on, the home is revealed, renewed and given a fresh breath of life for the new owners to enjoy.
In the upper level the Master Suite and fourth bedroom will be completed or this area could be finished to your own taste and style. In addition there is a large, windowed attic space for storage. Downstairs there is entrance foyer, kitchen, dining room, lounge, bathroom and two bedrooms. At its heart is a massive double stone fireplace. A further fireplace upstairs is in the process of being revealed. Outside, 3 large decks beckon you to relax and enjoy the uninterrupted views across the bay to Pictou harbour and the Yacht Club.
New roof, fascia and two outside doors 2005; kitchen and bathroom 2006; Cedar shake and skirting around base of house 2006; drainage around house 2006; New lines to well; new well pump 2007; windows, decks and doors 2008; Electrical breaker panel 2008.Due to the ship-like construction of the stairway, the upstairs of this property would be unsuitable for the elderly and infirm. |
