Located in the heart of Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, 44 Montague Street offers a vantage point over the Fisheries Museum, The Bluenose and a working harbour that few properties can match. This isn’t just a home; it is a versatile asset on a rare double-wide lot. With approximately $150,000 invested in the last 24 months, the heavy lifting has been completed. Recent renovations include a new roof, windows, spray-foam insulation, a propane-fired boiler, new electrical and windows. The upper unit features cathedral ceilings, hardwood, and slate flooring with a deck built for sunset views. The lower level is a completely new, separate one-bedroom walk-out unit with harbour views—perfect for short-term rentals or multi-generational living. Expansion Potential: The double lot is already approved for a carriage house, studio, or garage on the west side, offering a clear path to increasing the property’s footprint and value. Live/Work Opportunity: Zoned for both residential and commercial use, this is a premier location for a boutique retail space or professional office without sacrificing living quality. 2,200 sq. ft. across 3 levels. Whether you are looking for a sophisticated seasonal getaway or a permanent residence that pays for itself, this property provides the stability and growth potential rare in such a competitive, historic market. Experience the hustle and bustle of the waterfront from your front door, and the quiet peace of harbour sunsets from your back deck.
Hwy 103 to Hwy 324 to Linden Ave to Montague Street. Old Town directly across from the Fisheries Museum.
