A Maritime heirloom is being offered for sale in one of Digby's most prominent locations. Built in the 1800's, this home served as the town's first mayor's residence and, to this day, is guarded by cannons along the Admiral's walk. Hosting 4 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, and abundant sunlight, the house is perfectly suited for commercial modifications or residential renovations. Many of Digby's historic homes are currently being preserved and their availability is diminishing as people from around the world are realizing the community's charm, unique climate, and future potential. Facing the Annapolis basin and Port Royal, Canada's birthplace, there are unobstructed views of sea vessels ranging from yachts to fishing fleets, incredible sunrises and, being in the heart of the community, this home and its diverse potential is only limited by a purchaser's creativity. In excellent structural condition, yet wanting to be refreshed, this home reflects the character of the early nineteenth-century era with fireplaces, built-in cabinetry, hard and softwood flooring, excellent views and a large yard - with mature rose garden - and a gardening shed that justifies and would exceed a buyer's expectations. With the ability to walk in under 5 minutes to restaurants, weekly seasonal markets, shops, stores and a flotilla of festivals/festivities, should a buyer be interested in the home as a summer getaway, an VRBO/AirB&B, or even a bookstore as it once was, this investment will not disappoint!
