5365 Granville Road, Granville Ferry, Nova Scotia, CA

Property Overview

Now free of its heritage designation, this historic home offers all the character with fewer constraints?and far more manageable insurance premiums. Set on Granville Ferry?s postcard-worthy main street, the former William Letteney House blends 19th-century craftsmanship with thoughtful updates and stunning views of the Annapolis Basin. Originally built by trader William Letteney around 1830 and once used as a store by sea captain Robert Mills, this one-and-a-half-storey home retains its steep-pitched roof, five-bay façade, and wood-frame construction?while recent improvements have made it more efficient and financially accessible. Upgrades include a new roof, updated electrical, a replaced main stack, chimney liner and wood stove, fresh interior paint, and a beautifully restored clawfoot tub in the main-floor bathroom. Inside, you'll find four bedrooms, two full baths, high ceilings, wood floors, and generously sized common rooms filled with natural light. Built-in cabinetry adds warmth and function, while the bright eat-in kitchen feels like the heart of the home. The primary bedroom offers a particularly special feature: a wide water view of the Annapolis Basin and the town of Annapolis Royal beyond?a peaceful and ever-changing backdrop. A standout feature is the versatile ground-level space with its own entrance off Granville Road?perfect for a studio, gallery, or quiet consulting office. With no designation to navigate, the possibilities for a home-based business are wide open. Outside, the low-maintenance backyard offers privacy fencing, a spacious deck, and established landscaping. Located just minutes from Annapolis Royal, with its vibrant arts scene, historic gardens, farmers? markets, and restaurants, this property is also within walking distance of the local elementary school and a short bus ride from the junior-senior high. Whether you're drawn by its historic architecture, its flexibility for live-work life, or its panoramic views, this is a property wit (id:51532)
