Additional Information
This custom-built property has been a wonderful family home and workplace for years, and the zoning (C-2) allows you to really stretch your imagination in the flexible use of different spaces.
The insulated masonry construction ensures a solid, energy-efficient home that will be here for countless generations. The open-concept main floor provides a welcoming living and entertaining space; the dining area’s garden doors open onto a wrap-around deck surrounded by huge lilacs and a variety of mature trees. The distinctive longleaf yellow pine floors were reclaimed from a 200-year-old Boston warehouse. The open staircase, double-sided fireplace, wood ceiling beams, 18 ft. central ceiling with huge skylight and surrounding gallery combine to give this home a timeless, warm, rich ambience.
An office suite (office/waiting room/half bathroom) with solid wood floors, separate entrance and wheelchair access could also work as a small in-law suite. A beautiful studio with high ceiling, skylights, snug loft, sink, and separate entrance could also be used as a family room or additional business space.
Barn and pool: The 200 year-old barn is in remarkably good condition, with a horse stall, room for parking vehicles, and second floor storage. A part of the barn has been transformed into a cedar sauna and change rooms (with shower and w/c), which are adjacent to a south-facing extension that houses an in-ground swimming pool. The pool is heated year-round from the house through a heat exchanger (no seasonal shut down is required), while passive solar heat keeps potted and tropical plants happy in the pool room during the Nova Scotian winter. The pool room opens onto a delightful European-style patio, draped with wisteria, peach trees and grape vines. Together, the sauna, indoor pool, and outdoor patio dining offer the potential for truly healthy living and pleasurable relaxation.
This unique property offers many other features and upgrades, including:
* Recently (2008)renovated kitchen with ceramic countertops, all new appliances and easy-clean white cabinets
* New front entry porch
* Five new steel/energlass exterior doors
* Full height basement with 12" poured concrete walls and floor - dry and partially finished with separate exit directly to garden – currently serves as workshop, recreation rooms (pool table), and storage rooms; potential for extra accommodation.
* Master bedroom has ensuite and sliding glass doors to upper deck - view of meadows and park.
* "Hurricane proof" construction
* Built-in ash and mahogany book cases and fireplace mantles
* Recently re-shingled roof (2008)
* Paved driveway and parking lot
This exceptional property is surrounded by mature trees and hedges, and has an abundance of ornamental shrubs, bulbs, fruit trees, and perennials.
Canning is a thriving village with a variety of small businesses, good schools (P to 12), and friendly people. There is a winery just 2 KM away, famous Kingsport Beach 5 KM, and Cape Blomidon Provincial Park (10 minutes drive), Ross Creek Centre for the Arts (10 mins), famous Fundy tides (15 mins), the lovely town of Wolfville and Acadia University (15 mins), County Town of Kentville and Valley Regional Hospital (15 mins), Ken-Wo Golf course (20 mins) Halifax city and international airport (70 mins).
Agents: We are willing to negotiate a co-operating agent's commission.
