65 Session St, Bear River, NS B0S 1B0

Looking for a peaceful, private property on a quiet country lane? This unique property on 3.5 acres would make a wonderful hobby farm, with lots of potential for an accommodations business, artists' studio, or other home-based operation. In addition to the lovely 3-bedroom home (with attached garage), there is a 2-level studio/workshop (potential guest house), a storage building, and a 2-stall barn with chicken coop and loft. Built circa 1848, the house was extensively renovated (and largely re-built) by a cabinet maker in the 1970's, evidenced by the solid wood flooring and paneling, beamed ceilings, handcrafted doors, and structural reinforcement making the building exceptionally solid. The monumental stone fireplace (with wood burning insert) in the living room is one of the unique elements that really sets this home apart; along with mullioned wood windows, a 30' enclosed sunporch, 2 staircases, extra-large principal rooms, ample closet and storage space throughout. The exceptional quality and character of this home extends to all of the out-buildings, as well. The owners have made significant improvements over the last 8 years to bring the home into the 21st century including new roof shingles on the house and studio, a new furnace, water softener system, HW heater, electrical panel, 2 new ductless heat pumps, new front veranda, and new granite countertop and fixtures in the kitchen and pantry and more. A new septic system has been designed and approved, to be installed at owners' expense before closing of a sale. This property is located within a short walk to the village of Bear River where you will find cafe's, galleries, shops and a riverfront park. For all other amenities, the bustling town of Digby is just a 15 minute drive. Please download or request the features sheet for additional photos & information. 2021-12-02
