Featured as the Globe & Mail's Home of the Week (May 2026), the Captain Joseph Hall House is a nationally recognized historic home enjoying sweeping south-facing views of the Annapolis River and the historic town of Annapolis Royal. Meticulously restored 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home blends architectural character with modern comfort. A separately deeded waterfront parcel featuring a gazebo, shoreline improvements, and water access may also be available by separate negotiation. The home is connected to the legacy of the Captain's daughter, Bessie Hall, the famed "Seafaring Maiden" of Nova Scotia's maritime history. Inside, original wood floors, original tin ceilings, twin formal parlours, a grand central staircase, and a Wedgwood blue dining room featuring an intricate "wedding cake" plaster frieze showcase the home's historic craftsmanship. The bespoke kitchen features marble countertops, and opens to a welcoming family room with cast iron propane stove. Laundry room, powder room and separate staircase complete the main level. Upstairs, 4 spacious bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, walk-in closets, and sweeping views define the second floor. A full-height walk-up attic offers future development potential, while the home's flexible layout may also lend itself to conversion into 2 separate two-storey dwellings. The property also includes an ornate two-storey carriage house with plumbing and a 60-amp electrical panel, currently used as a workshop and gym. Recognized as Nova Scotia's first registered Bed & Breakfast, the award winning property welcomed guests for more than 50 years before transitioning to a private residence. Recent improvements include a reshingled roof, freshly painted exterior, upgraded insulation, ducted and ductless heat pumps, and updated plumbing and electrical systems. Set on beautifully landscaped grounds within walking distance of Annapolis Royal's amenities & attractions. Furniture inclusions possible. HST included
