Description de la propriété située au 5315 Granville Road

The "Willett House" is a timeless Classic Georgian masterpiece erected in 1833 by shipbuilder Walter Willett. Commanding pride of place this iconic landmark of Granville Ferry is set on four meticulously manicured acres with water views and framed by an original stone wall along Canada's first graded road - blending heritage, prestige and natural beauty. The grounds unfold like a private park, where saltwater breezes mingle with the shade of towering chestnut, pine, spruce and maple trees. Discover over 350 varieties of hostas, 250+ shrubs and trees, and secluded seating areas nestled in seas of blooms. At the rear (bordering North Street), a roughly 2 acre pine and spruce plantation ensures privacy and offers potential for development/subdivision - an exceptional opportunity for the visionary buyer. Clad with aluminum siding for enduring charm with minimal upkeep the home welcomes you through a grand entranceway with fanlight transom and sidelights - hinting at the craftsmanship within. Extensively renovated since 2010 including new wiring and plumbing, a custom oak kitchen, floor refinishing (original wide-plank pine), and the list goes on. Meticulous attention was paid to restore and preserve the home's historic soul whilst ensuring comfort and efficiency. A new addition was added to the rear of the home to incorporate a convenient mudroom, bath/laundry, and a large den/library with wood-stove and ductless heat-pump. Upstairs are four generous bedrooms, an additional bathroom, and a spacious walk-up attic with exciting development potential. Superb location amongst Granville Ferry's finest homes with wonderful neighbours, walking distance to Annapolis Royal, fibre-op internet, and municipal water/sewer. This is a rare lifestyle opportunity to step into history without sacrificing modern living. (id:38686)
