"Cape Hill House" was completed in 1836, one year before Victoria took the British throne. Its seasoned timbers surrounding the old cook's hearth have touched the passing of time through three centuries on Nova Scotia's historic coastal highway, The Lighthouse Route, in the peaceful enclave of Bayport. A large living room and dining room, along with a full bathroom, complete the main floor of the original Cape. Vaulted, beamed ceilings accommodate three bedrooms beneath the second floor eaves, including the primary bedroom with ensuite. The "L" and newer addition to the main floor, house a large eat-in, country kitchen with direct access to the backyard and a private deck. The rear entry to the home, off the kitchen, leads to an adjacent laundry room with an additional office/sewing room located at the back of the house with an additional exterior door to the hot-tub. This adjacent wing affords a quiet place away from the main living area of the home for an at-home office, hobbies or relaxation. An attached, double garage contains a large storage loft, which would be the ideal space for a future studio or recreation room. Beautifully landscaped, mature grounds are beckoning an heirloom gardener, and the boater in the family should pay note to the municipal wharf and slipway a short stroll across the way. This quiet, country road, newly paved, places one: 5 minutes drive to Sand Dollar Beach, 8 minutes to the Lahave Ferry (gateway to the Lahave Islands) 10 minutes drive to Kingsburg and Hirtles Beach, 5 minutes to the Rose Bay General Store and café, and a relaxing, 10 minute, scenic drive to the UNESCO Town of Lunenburg. The home is approximately 90 minutes to the city of Halifax and Stanfield International Airport. This is a life-style property, a classic, historic country house, with a warm ambiance surrounded by lovely grounds, located at the centre of one of the most beautiful coastlines in Atlantic Canada.
