About 136 Ns 340 Highway

Step back in time with this Historic 1861 Italianate Masterpiece. Once the stately residence of John C. Blackadar—one of the village’s most prominent early citizens—this elegant Italianate home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Yarmouth’s rich history. Blackadar began his career as a teacher before becoming a highly successful figure in the lumber manufacturing industry, and his legacy lives on in the timeless character of this remarkable home. Brimming with 19th-century charm, the home features four spacious bedrooms, one bathroom, and sits proudly on over an acre of land, just minutes from the heart of Yarmouth. Original architectural details abound, including the dramatic central staircase, finely crafted mouldings, and solid wood doors that have stood the test of time. One of the home’s most unique and romantic features is the original widow’s walk, where mariners’ wives once stood watch for ships returning to port. This rare and evocative detail speaks to the home’s coastal heritage and adds a layer of historical intrigue. If you appreciate the craftsmanship of a bygone era and dream of restoring or living in a home with story and soul, this property is not to be missed.
