I have sold a property at 102 School Street in Liverpool on Oct 14, 2022. See details here

This circa 1850s former Dauphinee farmhouse has become one of the more recognizable century properties on desirable School Street in Liverpool. The curb appeal is omnipresent; and regardless of the direction one views the house from the grounds; the character and architecture offer preludes to an interior with the right balance of preservation and upgrades. The main level is bright with natural light, as discovered upon entry into the foyer. The full-height ceiling, windows, staircase and rustic wood accents combine to create a striking, yet warm welcome. A nice-sized room to the left makes an excellent candidate for a home office, or as a potential 4th bedroom. A connected smaller room provides these same options. The large eat-in kitchen features a reclaimed wood ceiling and an abundance of cupboards and cabinets for storage. The fridge, stove and dishwasher are included. An oversize laundry room with washer and dryer is conveniently located just off the kitchen; offering additional storage. The kitchen is separated from the formal living room by a hallway that is also home to a half-bath. A hidden maid stairwell is accessed from the living room. Upstairs finds 3 large bedrooms and the main 3-piece bathroom with a large soaker tub. Moving outside, a 2-level deck with raised pergola section provides a private sanctuary worthy of a back yard gracefully lined with mature hardwoods and towering pines. One of the notable features of this distinctive home is the sheer size of the property footprint; over a half-acre. Depending upon your vision, a family can enjoy an extended outdoor experience, or the second separate lot (over 15,000 sq. ft.) provides opportunity for future development.

I have sold a property at 9 Guys Lane in Shelburne on Jan 17, 2023. See details here

Move-in ready 3-bedroom home on a spectacular 42-acre parcel close to the seaside community of Shelburne and its historic waterfront. A big, bright eat-in kitchen leads through patio doors to a covered patio; ensuring year-round uninterrupted BBQ-ing. Living room, full bath, two bedrooms and mudroom / laundry round out the main floor. Upstairs finds a third bedroom plus a sizable landing area that could be further developed. Efficiently heated by oil forced hot air, supplemented by a ductless heat pump...also providing cooling during summer months. This property’s list of superlatives will impress those buyers seeking privacy, expansive lands and a surprisingly close proximity to downtown amenities. The very quiet dead-end street provides few clues that such private acreage awaits. A picturesque stream runs through the rear portion of the property; a 25 x 24 wired building that was the original home tantalizingly calls for re-use; workshop, man-cave, bunkhouse, in-law suite...limited only by your imagination. Bonus camp across the river.

I have sold a property at 370 Highway 8 in Milton on Nov 30, 2021. See details here

Outstanding 4 / 5 bedroom, 2-bath historic home perched on a 1.5-acre waterfront parcel on the picturesque Mersey River. Constructed in the early 1850s by James Augustus Freeman, it remained in the lumber-industry family until 1928. The stately nature of this home’s design and architectural features are immediately evident as one approaches the front entry. Lush lawns, raised garden beds and shrubberies flourish under a canopy of striking mature hardwoods and towering pine trees. The layout - that includes a main-level bedroom, bath and office / den and four bedrooms up - lends itself well to a home big enough for large and / or extended families, or perhaps beginning a new journey as a quintessential Nova Scotia B&B. Inside, the preservation of original trim, floors and doors make for a delightful space in which to live and entertain. Evidence of a well-maintained home is everywhere. Not surprisingly, the list of renovations and improvements on file is extensive and comprehensive.

I have sold a property at 147 Highway 8 in Milton on Nov 30, 2021. See details here

On the South Shore of Nova Scotia, there are a handful of significant, historic and instantly recognizable properties. This Empire-style 1864 home, perched on almost 2 acres of rolling lawns and gardens overlooking the picturesque Mersey River, is one such property - a favourite backdrop for wedding pictures throughout time. Currently operating as a B&B, the property’s sheer size, waterfront parcel, distinct architecture and generous layout provides a pretty rare template from which to create…or re-create one of the region’s signature homes as a single family estate. Entering the foyer draws attention to the curved staircase and skylight that illuminates both the first and second floor hallways. Original ceiling mouldings, hardwood floors, brick hearth and exposed beams reflect the 19th century era. The main house has four bedrooms, each with private en suite baths; one on the main floor. Balance of main floor includes a living room, reading library, dining room and access to separate owners’ unit. Upstairs finds three bedrooms with private en suites and a lounge area. The overall layout will permit a myriad of choices for conversion / renovation for a private home. The owners’ residence is currently closed-off from the main house, consisting of the kitchen, dining nook, sitting area with a wood fireplace, living room with patio doors leading out to a private deck and yard. Two bedrooms and a 3-pc. bath with skylight up. A return to a lovely private family home still affords a number of routes forward for new owners…lots of room for extended family while retaining part or all of the separate 2-bedroom guest area / in-law suite. Property also includes an adjacent 20,000 sq. ft. undeveloped lot and 12,000 square feet of water frontage, located just across the road; amazing for swimming or access for a canoe or kayak…or simply enjoying the water’s edge. Just 1.2 km (1 mile) from the Town of Liverpool. 90 minutes to Halifax and international airport.

Turn-key seasonal vacation rental - the ultimate off-grid eco-friendly getaway in the heart of cottage country. This property is currently an active Airbnb destination and checks all the boxes. The cabin is a legal dwelling, had renovations completed in the spring of 2023, comes fully furnished and is registered with the Nova Scotia Tourism Registry.

A 4800 watt back- up generator is also included. There is no traditional indoor kitchen, so think camping when it comes to cooking, with the BBQ with side burner and black stone top as the main sources. These small appliances are included for inside use - small microwave, electric skillet, toaster, coffee maker, slow cooker, kettle and water cooler. There is a rechargeable indoor shower head as well as an outdoor shower. Do not forget your boat.

For power boating, Ponhook Lake is a 7-minute drive from the site. At night, gather around the bonfire and enjoy some of the darkest skies in North America. You will be nestled among the trees on a very quiet dead end road. Despite the secluded location, one is less than 10 minutes to a convenience store stocked with everything one would need including NSLC products. One could further develop the property to a year-round property by adding a heating source, or potentially bringing in hydro service. Seller-financing is an option.
