17 Saint James St, Annapolis Royal, NS B0S 1K0

Live, work, and invest in this unique property in the heart of a vibrant community, and one of Nova Scotia's prettiest seaside towns. Located around the corner from the main street, waterfront boardwalk, and market square, is the first of three buildings: the original ticket booth for the Granville Ferry, which later served as the Ritchie Barber Shop for 40 years before being placed in its current spot and restored by the owner. It would make a wonderful artists' studio or shop. Accented by a wrap-around deck, paved parking and side garden area. Behind the studio discover a large, partially enclosed, gravel courtyard shaded by trees and accented by a unique privacy wall made from antique teak doors from Burma. A handy 12' x 16' garage/storage building with addition for garden supplies is at the other end of the courtyard. Enter through a gate and discover a private, fenced green space and patio. There is room to garden, entertain and relax under the maple tree, surrounded by ornamental shrubs, grasses and hostas. From here you enter the main house through garden doors and discover a lovely contemporary yet cozy living space with vaulted ceilings, exotic accents, large windows, and high-quality finishes. The great room has a custom kitchen with (almost new) stainless steel appliances and slate counter tops, plus a spacious dining and living area. The next room is a great space for a home office at one end, and another area to read or do yoga at the other end. The bedroom has a full ensuite bath and its own door out to a deck. There is lots of room for expansion of this unique dwelling. Come view this property and be inspired. With commercial/general zoning, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Just a short walk to all shops, cafes and restaurants, plus the Kings Theatre, and Farmers Market. Beyond town limits you are close to national historic sites, a stunning 18-hole golf course, wineries, whale watching, and more. 2021-05-20
