Welcome to 187 Water Street in the picturesque and peaceful village of Freeport, to a home that makes you truly feel like you are home! Known historically as the Blackford House, this 5 bed, 2 bath beauty has been lovingly restored. The 3+ acres of elevated land that overlooks the bay could present opportunities for those with a vision to create unique accommodations in one of NS's most interesting eco-tourism areas! The home could lend well to a B&B or Airbnb Accommodation which is very hard to find in these parts! Kayaking in the bay is very popular, just steps outside your door, plus Long and Brier Islands are a premier spot for whale watching, birdwatching, hiking and beaches! You will love the layout and flow of the main floor as it features a kitchen the cooks in your family will love, with a premium large ZLINE propane/electric range, lots of room to work in, plus walk through pantry for plenty of space to store cooking supplies. The elegant dining room with double garden doors opens up to the large back deck and treed yard. The living room invites you to cozy up on the couch with its beautifully appointed wood mouldings and character of the imported wood and tile fireplace. On the main level is a master bedroom with a door to the deck, a parlour room that can easily serve as a second main floor bedroom, plus an extra large 4 piece bathroom and a laundry room. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms with lovely water views, and a large bonus room that could be used as a studio or office. You or your guests will enjoy relaxing in the large soak tub under the skylight! Start your mornings sitting in the front porch sipping coffee, watching the sunrise as the tide changes! With the home newly insulated and almost all windows replaced, new septic tank and a freshly drilled well, most of the biggest expenses have been dealt with. Add in the small barn and work shed for the makings of a family homestead, with a PP-grade 12 school minutes away!
