A
Home Within a Church!
Once
anyone walks through the front doors of this home they will
immediately begin to appreciate the respect and love that went
into restoring and preserving the sanctity of this 120 year
old United Baptist Church.
From
preserving the original windows (both the clear panes and the
stain glass) and the 'cathedral' ceiling to the original trim
work of the windows, not to mention the period replication and
restoration of the inner walls, this place is a must see.
As
featured on a commemorative plate this church, built in 1885,
maintains the character and charm as witnessed by many ongoing
visitors having a history with this church and the community.
With this in mind, the present owners cherish their home while
respectfully restoring a major community landmark for many visitors
in the years to come.
As
for views, charm and the home's surrounding property the list
goes on. Imagine waking up to the early morning sunrise, with
beams shining through the red stain glass 25 feet above you.
On the floor is created an amazing piece of art in its own right
- that of brilliant red patterns across the open space floor.
From all of the windows on the front and sides of this unique
home you can enjoy the fantastic views of colourful fishing
boats coming and going, the young eagles learning to fly or
a porpoise or three swimming by.
And
with the practicalities, from the major insulation work to the
Plexiglas sealing the windows (and preserving the original window
panes) to a new roof complete with fibre glass reinforced asphalt,
this home is sure to win the viewers over.
While
just 10 minutes to all the amenities in Musquodoboit Harbour
and 45 minutes to metro Halifax this home is just a minute's
walk to the shoreline of Jeddore Harbour and the incredible
opportunity for beach combing or a peaceful walk.
