Timeless Victorian character meets exceptional modern efficiency; this elegant and cozy home is perfectly priced for a young couple or retirees looking for a rewarding property to personalize and build future equity over time. Major infrastructure updates in recent years were driven by a goal of maximum efficiency; this home boasts an impressive EnerGuide rating of 73, achieved via the addition of Kohler windows, insulation including spray foamed cellar, a hot water timer, a 2.5-tonne York ducted heat pump for heating and cooling, and a 98% efficient York propane furnace installed new in 2024. Other major improvements include new plumbing, wiring, a 100amp panel and generator panel, plus whole-house surge protection. The roof was re-shingled in 2022. Upon arrival you will be awe-struck by the massive American Elm trees (now rare in NS) framing the front of the house, which are over 100 years old. Inside, the home welcomes you with the warmth and quality of bygone days; high ceilings, large windows, original mill work and doors. A living room with bay window is off the main entry hall, and a formal dining room with original Victorian cast-iron chimney piece, is adjacent to the spacious kitchen, which opens to a back deck and the wrap-around covered veranda. A main-floor laundry and powder room add great daily convenience. The ornate original staircase and stained-glass window lead to two bedrooms, a large 4 piece bath, and a useful attic space. The home sits on just under an acre, but also includes an additional 44-acre parcel (PID# 30010177) that extends back over a meadow and acres of mature forest to Griffiths Lake. This expansive acreage requires zero maintenance and provides natural wildlife habitat, allowing you to take your time making plans for trails or expansion of your hobby farm, or focus your attention entirely on landscaping the house lot. Located minutes to amenities in Weymouth, and close to Yarmouth, Digby and the beautiful beaches of St Mary's Bay.
