Own a piece of Yarmouth History! Built in 1847, this property was once known as the Blue Bird Inn in Arcadia, where it would attract both locals and wartime soldiers that were stationed here. They would gather on the small sandy beach and use the diving board to enjoy a swim in the tidal river. The cottages were destroyed by Hurricane Edna in 1954, but this unique home stands strong to this very day. This home has many, many unique features, some added when the current owner rebuilt the home from the inside out in the early 2000s. It has oak, maple, and ash hardwood flooring throughout. The kitchen cabinets are made with apple ash and hawthorn wood that was harvested from the property, has in-floor heat, and has beautiful views of the back yard and river. There is a sitting room and living room that share a beautiful double faced fireplace; in the dining/sitting room there is a stone fireplace made with various local stones, in the living room there is an ornate wooden mantle carved by Yarmouth-famous Doan Brothers. This home has 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and would make a wonderful family home. The secondary suite is located in the basement, which you have to see to believe! It has amazing stone walls, a one of a kind wood fireplace, full bath with jet tub, and kitchenette. It has lovely water views and would be a great place to Air B&B! There is a back deck to enjoy coffee and relax under the grapevines overlooking the picturesque yard with mature trees and the rambling river. Enjoy the good life in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia! *Virtual tour coming soon!* (id:41453)
