Cut granite foundation wallsDouble lotDistinctive period architectural elementsSoftwood floorsPlaster moldingsIntact ceiling medallionsSubstantial room sizes

If you were looking to buy what many have thought of as the prettiest house in Mahone Bay - it is finally for sale. From the street you see cut granite foundation walls set amidst a large double lot framing a 2 1/2 story architectural masterpiece . The expressive exuberance and inventiveness of it's industrial-age builders is reflective of the distinctive period architectural elements, the softwood floors, the plaster moldings and the intact ceiling medallions.Substantial room sizes, a back staircase, and exquisite wood trim and doors extending right up to the third floor .The charming attic windows offer a sentinel out over the rooftops of the neighbouring houses looking toward the harbour. Add in triple front bays, Palladian porch and attic windows all set in a massive three story front bay. It is all here. This gem was built for master mariner Capt James Smeltzer in the late 1880's and was then; and is now; a recognized Mahone Bay landmark home
