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.
