72 Duke St, Chester, Nova Scotia B0J 1J0

This one-of-a-kind Chester home with sweeping ocean water views from every room, boasts a Pre-Confederation water lot with more than 200’ of water frontage and a wharf. The spacious 4,792 SF+/-, 4 bedroom, 4 full bath and 2 half bath residence, originally built in 1795, was completely rebuilt in 2018 by renowned designer Philip Mitchell with no expense spared or detail over looked. Meticulously updated for year-round living, the expert craftsmanship is evident in every room – wide plank floors, beadboard, paneling, imported marble stone and tiles, and custom cabinetry. The expansive living room and dining room, both with fireplaces, are the perfect places to privately relax or entertain on a grand scale. The true chef's kitchen is its own entertainment space with hand carved island, bay window dining area, marble counters, bar and butler’s pantry. The spacious principal bedroom has windows on 3 sides with stunning views, his and her’s ensuites and dressing rooms. The top floor, with its breathtaking roof deck, features two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and ensuite baths. The lower level has a sun-filled family room with fireplace, a bar and mudroom. The mature private gardens overlooking the harbour feature stone terraces, wisteria covered pergola and outdoor pavilion with fireplace. The 900+/- sq. ft. coach house with a 2 car garage and guest suite with full bath above could be used as an art studio or home office. The restoration won the ‘Built Heritage Award’ from the Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia and has been featured in numerous magazines and books. Known as “White Cottage”, it is now recognized as one of the most beautiful homes in Nova Scotia. The home is completely “turn key” and comes fully furnished with custom furniture, window coverings, carpets, lighting and antiques including the exterior furniture on terraces and decks allowing you to move right in and enjoy the summer. The village of Chester offers sailing, golf, shops, galleries and restaurants.
