Discover timeless charm and historic elegance in this stunning 2.5-story home at 68 Cottage Street. Originally built in 1890 by the original owners of the renowned Pictou Shipyard and thoughtfully rebuilt in 1940, this residence offers a unique blend of heritage and modern comfort. Set on over one acre on a corner lot, the home features striking cedar siding with classic brick accents and lush ivy adorning the front facade. Towering linden trees surround the estate, creating a serene and picturesque setting in a highly desirable neighborhood. Step inside to experience spacious, light-filled interiors with huge hallways and original hardwood floors beneath the laminate wood coverings on the main floor. The home boasts four generous bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two versatile attic rec rooms, plus a secret room accessed through one of the bedrooms! Three cozy fireplaces and original iron radiators provide warmth and character throughout. Original windows, complete with dual panels that swing open from the inside, preserve the home's historic charm while flooding rooms with natural light. The expansive great room features custom built-in library shelving, and the formal dining room impresses with a full wall of built-in cabinetry—perfect for entertaining. French doors on the staircase landing lead outside, where a balcony is begging to be built. Additional highlights include a large detached garage, insulated and wired with a wood stove, and a converted side entrance mudroom with a pellet stove that opens to the kitchen, blending functionality and comfort seamlessly. Recent renovations include fresh plaster and paint throughout, preserving the home's character while ensuring a move-in-ready experience.
