“The" Cove house is finally available. Its distinctive three peaks are well known to most local photographers as a stunning example of the blend of the simplicity of an old cape and the more elaborate Fisherman Gothic styles. If you ever wanted a restored Cape in the high demand enclave of Maders Cove, now is your chance! Located between the quintessential south shore towns of Mahone Bay and Lunenburg. This home has been gutted and rebuilt, with interior walls furred out to allow for proper insulation, and the exterior has also been resided. It has had all major systems replaced, but the true art here is all the restored woodwork that was painstakingly removed, stripped, refinished and then reinstalled. Single board wainscotting is a backdrop to the brickwork and huge hearth that has to be seen to be appreciated. Marvin windows, whole house ducted heat pump, Charles Lantz built cabinet unit - it is all here. There is a double garage that is foam insulated and heated, with a walk out loft. And to top it off, the cove views are spectacular - with even the remains of an old wharf out front !
