Are you thinking about making an escape to the country and owning a piece of County history? Situated amongst a mix of working farms, historic houses and newer estate homes in beautiful South Bay, this property located 15 minutes south of Picton has been extensively restored and updated over the past decade by the current owners who have used it as a country getaway. The 2.4 acre lot has further development potential with views out over the bay, church and Mariners Museum lighthouse. The original home was constructed as an early one-and-a-half storey with an attached summer kitchen, the two-storey main section was constructed in approximately 1882; both still retain many period features. The main section offers a living room, dining room, kitchen and two-piece bath on the ground floor and three of four bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor. The earlier section is currently used as a main floor den and a two-room primary bedroom on the second floor, which has direct access into the second-floor bath. The attached summer kitchen and loft are currently used as a workshop/storage but provide endless possibilities for additional living or work-from-home space. Significant updates over the past decade include wiring, plumbing, HVAC and asphalt shingles (2015) and interior and exterior foundation repair/re-pointing and wood siding repair/painting on the main house (2022). The property features an original small barn and is a mix of low-maintenance perennial gardens, lawn and meadow, with lilacs, apple and pear trees. There is ample space for entertaining extended family and friends to enjoy all the County has to offer, and the location close to Waupoos, Black River and Milford provides easy access to some of the best food and wine. The exterior of the original house is waiting for your design ideas to take advantage of the pastoral views, and buyers may wish to pursue further foundation work under the original early house where it has previously settled.
