Welcome to Bear River, said to be the second oldest settlement in Canada, where the river that runs beneath historic stilt buildings, rises and falls with the tide. This is where you will find the grand old Picturesque style Victorian home built in 1868 by Chas Brown, sea Captain. A newly appointed powder room is located near the back door and retains the original sink, an antique mirror and old school desk, for storage. The whole family can spend the holidays here in the 6 bedrooms, and no fighting over bathrooms, there are 3 on this floor, some with original clawfoot bathtubs. There is potential income from the self contained "annex" which could be run as an Air B & B, a business or use it as a mother-in-law suite. There is a hard wired alarm system throughout and 5G high speed fiber internet as well as a cell phone booster. On the second floor, 10 windows were replaced by energy efficient, double paned, double hung wooden Norwood windows. The laundry room/bathroom is now on the second floor near the bedrooms. The heating system was overhauled in 2024 and now a central heat pump with an electric backup system along with 2 on wall heat pump splits will keep you nice and cozy in winter and cool in summer. The water heater was replaced in March 2025 and a French drain was installed along the north side of the house, in 2024. You have the option to hook up to the municipal water system or continue using the well water that has a UV light and filter.Most bedrooms (4) and bathrooms (3) have been redecorated and the living room parlor and front hall have been redecorated including refinishing the hardwood floors. Hardwood floors run throughout the entire house. Furnishings and appliances are included as are most of the light fixtures. This is an amazing opportunity for a multi-generational family or someone who just likes space, to live in a beautiful historic home with modern amenities. Don't worry there are still projects where you can leave your mark.
