Description
STRIKING THE PERFECT BALANCE -- Situated at the edge of Town, 311 Pelham Street offers the convenience of downtown access with a little more spreading out space than one typically finds in centre of Lunenburg. Built in 1916, the home retains much of its original architectural detail, notably the striking columned covered verandah that spans the front of the house. The generous corner lot provides fabulous outdoor space with a large level side yard that feels more like "country than town" – plenty of room for the kids, the family gardener, and the pooch. Step inside and you'll find the home's layout and room sizes echo the same sense of space, starting with the generous front foyer that opens to a bright living room with broad bay window and woodstove. Striking original details abound, including the beautiful entry with leaded glass sidelights, hardwood floors, large windows with stained glass panels, and the high panelled walls, French doors & built-in China cabinet of the Dining Room. An old-fashioned Pantry serves as a functional link between the Dining Room and Kitchen, where the family Chef will enjoy a large central island & new appliances. There's also a handy main floor laundry/half bath situated just off the Kitchen. Upstairs are 4 bedroom and the family bath. A number of rooms in the home also offer a glimpse of Lunenburg Bay. On the practical side of things, there have been numerous upgrades in recent years, including new wiring with 200Amp service and many newer windows. The basement is a versatile space with good height and access to the back yard which makes it an ideal workshop or storage area. A short scenic stroll from your front door brings you to Lunenburg's vibrant downtown & waterfront with all the eclectic shops, cafes and restaurants that make living in Lunenburg so popular. Having trouble choosing between in-town or out...maybe with 311 Pelham you don't have to! South Shore Waldorf
