Gracefully commanding its streetscape in the historic heart of Pictou, this distinguished circa-1874 residence is a refined example of Second Empire architecture, a style celebrated for its sophistication and grandeur. Rich in period character yet thoughtfully suited for modern living, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Nova Scotia’s architectural heritage. Defined by its elegant proportions and timeless detailing, the residence showcases hardwood and softwood flooring, beautifully preserved natural woodwork, bay windows that invite abundant light, and decorative glass accents that lend artistry and warmth throughout. The main level is designed for both gracious entertaining and comfortable daily living, featuring a spacious kitchen, formal dining room, inviting living room, and a welcoming family room anchored by a propane stove. A generous central hall and staircase create an impressive sense of arrival and flow. Upstairs, four to five well-appointed bedrooms and an additional bath are arranged along a wide, light-filled hallway—echoing the home’s original grandeur and thoughtful design. Adding exceptional versatility, the lower level offers income potential with either one expansive apartment or two smaller self-contained suites, each with private entrances—ideal for extended family, guests, or rental opportunities. Outdoors, a large rear deck overlooks the beautifully landscaped backyard, an inviting setting for quiet mornings or summer gatherings. Elegant, historic, and eminently livable, this remarkable property blends architectural distinction with modern comfort. The lower level provides excellent income or multi-generational living potential with private entrance(s) and the option for one large apartment or two smaller self-contained suites. Enjoy the landscaped 8,700 sq ft lot and rear deck—perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Walking distance to waterfront, shops, and amenities. Extraordinary place to Chill@Home!
