Lovingly restored over many years, this oft photographed and much written about home is in beautiful condition inside and out. Of the rare French Second Empire style with classic Mansard roof, the house was constructed around 1867 on a raised site with commanding views of Wallace River and Wentworth mountains. Square and level the house bears witness to the carpenter's skill with hemlock and the cleverly designed run-off quarry stone basement. The home is in true move-in condition with four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, dining room, living room and large country kitchen. From the restored verandah you can view the valley scenery, landscaped gardens and over 6 acres of land.
The house has year round road access and is just 12 minutes from Ski Wentworth, 15 minutes from the full service town of Pugwash with ocean and golf, one hour from Moncton International Airport and 1h 30minutes from Halifax International Airport.
As a rare historical property, as a family home, as a base for summer and winter sports, or as a B&B, this home has much to offer.
Notes:

Wide original varnished planks upstairs. Original windows. Original interior wood trim including 24ft maple stair rail with oak spindles and post.
