ABOUT THIS 1894 VICTORIAN IN GEORGES RIVER NOVA SCOTIA
Welcome to the iconic Fairholme Farm, in the desirable community of Georges River. Built in 1894, this Grand Victorian home is a masterpiece of fine detail, inside and out. With many of the original features having been preserved & cared for, the character of this historic home remains. Hardwood flooring, crown mouldings, tall ceilings & a grand staircase are just some of the features and attention to detail that went in to the original design of this home.
The main level features two living rooms, a dining room & a recently renovated kitchen with views of the bay from your ceilings-to-counter windows. The upper level enjoys four spacious bedrooms plus a bonus room with access to a covered verandah. Currently being used as an office, this space could be an additional bedroom, library or sitting room. In addition to a half bath on the lower level, the upper floor has two three-piece baths.
The home is heated with multiple heat pumps and beautiful cast iron radiators (oil furnace). From the the mature tree-lined driveway while entering the 6.5 acres of land, the unique design, covered verandas and surrounding property will amaze you. The acreage allows for gardening, landscaping, farming and privacy while being only minutes away from all amenities. In-ground pool could be reimagined for summers full of family fun. Observed in the basement, this home was built to last. Notice concrete foundation walls, concrete pillars and large beams throughout.
The features found in this home, do not come around often and the quality of work is not replicated in today builds. Do not miss the opportunity to own a historic Cape Breton property.
