Woodroofe House ~ Circa 1780, this darling Cape is one of the village's earliest homes, and it is now boasting a shiny new ducted heat pump. For years, it was the home and office of a family doctor, and has been affectionately known as the Woodroofe House in his honour! Right in the heart of the village, the location couldn't be better! The main floor master adds to the convenience of one level living. Some of the traditional features include the original Dutch oven fireplace, a stunning corner cabinet, 100+ year old Hemlock / painted floors, and claw-foot tubs. The inviting floor plan, great for multiple generations to enjoy, includes a second level with three bedrooms, all with built-ins, along with a full bath. A surprise loft above the garage, currently used as an exercise area, is bright and cheery, would make a lovely place to work from home, popular these days, or maybe a family or project room. There is also a full bath in the loft area. The sheltered courtyard opens from the den along with the master and is a wonderful, private spot. The easy to manage, landscaped yard makes this an attractive year round or seasonal property. The attached single garage will be appreciated for all one's marine or sports gear. Improvements include, some new windows, insulation, Corian counters, stainless appliances, refinished floors, cedar roof, interlocking brick driveway and more ...

With a Day Care, Our Health Centre, coastal golf course, skating/hockey/curling complex, Tennis Club, and more, all less than 50 minutes from Halifax on Nova Scotia's treasured South Shore, the Bluenose Coast. 2021-01-04
