Even in a place brimming with heritage buildings, Blair House stands out because this 1828 Georgian colonial in Lunenburgs UNESCO-designated Old Town strikes just the right balance between classic, quirky and comfortable. A steep cedar roof and symmetrical facade give it camera-ready curb appeal and the surprisingly spacious interior is loaded with character from its wide-plank floors right up to its hand-hewn ceiling beams. Period features, for instance, include a winding enclosed staircase plus a trio of cauldron-sized fireplaces . Like its architectural elements, the homes layout is unique. - The main floor boasts a sunny living room and dining room large enough for ambitious entertaining plus a full bath with shower. The two main rooms are connected by an inviting kitchen which opens onto a leafy fenced yard where brick-bordered flower beds offer low maintenance outdoor living while still giving gardeners space to play. - Downstairs, at street level, there's an en-suite queen bedroom and an office/den which could also serve as a second similarly-sized bedroom. - On the top floor, you'll find three more bedrooms (two singles and a double) along with a full bathroom complete with vintage ball-and-claw tub. Ample storage spaces (including a garden shed) and a dedicated brick driveway (a welcome amenity in tourist season) are added perks. Thanks to Blair House's coveted location, Lunenburgs many amenities are close at hand. Eateries, shops and services are a quick walk away, while the golf course, curling club, arena, tennis courts, tempting trails and public boat launch can be reached in mere minutes by bike or car. Its an hours drive to Halifax, 90 minutes to the International Airport. (id:7434)
