Overview
Description
This classic farmhouse, built in 1880, sits on just under 2 acres of landscaped land with tidal ocean fed riverfront and boat access in peaceful Sheet Harbour. With 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, it offers space, character, and stories etched into its walls, literally. The original wood-framed windows remain, many with the names of the five daughters who grew up here, along with their husbands, etched into the glass. The kitchen was updated approximately 20 years ago to match the home’s warm wood finishes and create more functional space, blending comfort with continuity. A large 3 seasons games room adds even more room to relax or entertain. Outside, you’ll find a beautifully planted oasis with azaleas, tall phlox, tiger lilies, quince, weigelia, burning bush, and more. Enjoy the 5-person hot tub under the gazebo or gather around the firepit. A detached workshop with woodstove adds versatility. Drilled well (2012), concrete septic tank with risers, and hot water tank (8 years old).
