Step into a living piece of Newfoundland history with this breathtaking oceanfront bed and breakfast, now available in the heart of Twillingate. Built by hand in the 1880s by master furniture maker Ephram Jacobs, this home has been lovingly preserved by just two families over the past 110 years. Operating for over 20 years, Captain's Legacy Historic Bed & Breakfast is a strong brand, the top rated bed & breakfast in Twillingate and one of the 5 top rated traveler reviewed bed & breakfast establishments in Newfoundland and Labrador. It still boasts original millwork, staircases, spindles, solid wood doors, hardware, and even a few original hanging light fixtures—testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The main floor features 9-foot ceilings finished with pressed zinc, imported from Italy in 1912 for Jacobs’ daughter’s wedding. That same year, a beautiful pump organ was gifted and still stands in the dining room. Look closely and you’ll see that the dining room walls are lined with hand-painted sailcloth—an early work by an up-and-coming artist of the time. The home offers four charming guest bedrooms, each with a private ensuite, plus a third-floor owner’s retreat complete with a full bath, living area, and a bedroom with sweeping ocean views. The main level includes a grand entrance, cozy guest living room, guest-use kitchen, formal dining space, office, and one guest room. To the rear, you’ll find the owner’s private kitchen, laundry, and service entrance. Outside, the property stretches across the road to the ocean’s edge and includes a two-story outbuilding with incredible potential—perfect for additional guest suites, a studio, or workshop. Whether you're seeking a turnkey business or a remarkable heritage home by the sea, this property is one of Twillingate’s rarest finds. (id:51532)
