West from Bridgetown on Highway 1.Parking is at the rear of the house on Highway 1. The front of the house is on Hebbs Landing. The view from the sunroom of this historic home takes in nearly 10 acres of grounds, where an old apple orchard, open land, and a pond that seems lifted from a painting create a distinctly park-like setting. Mowed paths wind through the property, inviting exploration throughout the seasons. Set between Annapolis Royal and Bridgetown, the property offers a sense of space and privacy while remaining connected to the communities and countryside that define the Annapolis Valley. Very little has interrupted this property's story. The original doors are still here. The hardware remains. The old keys still turn in their locks. A Gothic window illuminates the principal staircase, while an original back staircase continues to connect the kitchen and second floor. Character-defining features include rippled glass windows, built-in cabinetry, wainscotting, unpainted woodwork, and an exposed chimney that forms a focal point in the bathroom. While rich in historic character, the home has benefited from ongoing maintenance and stewardship over the years, creating a reassuring balance between authenticity and practicality. The house features approximately 3,000 square feet of living space, five bedrooms including one on the main floor, a four-piece bathroom, and spacious rooms throughout. The sunroom overlooks the acreage, offering a warm, light-filled space from which to enjoy the property. A walk-in pantry adds to the home's practicality, while two heat pumps, a wood stove, and a furnace contribute to year-round comfort and functionality. Frontage on both Highway 1 and Hebbs Landing Road provides flexibility, while a barn-style attached garage and separate workshop support a variety of pursuits, from gardening and hobby farming to woodworking and creative projects. From the orchard and pond to the home itself, generations of stewardship have shaped a property connected to the landscape, traditions, and rural character of the Annapolis Valley. (id:27476)
