About this home

Visit REALTOR® website for additional information. Two beautifully renovated homes perched on 3.9 acres with sweeping 180-degree views of the iconic Bay of Fundy. Whether you're dreaming of a private family estate, multi-generational living, or an income-generating opportunity, this rare offering delivers the perfect blend of space, comfort, and East Coast charm. The Main House features 1,526 square feet of warm, inviting living space with rich wood finishes and an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area designed to showcase the breathtaking ocean views. A wall of windows fills the home with natural light, while the stunning stone fireplace creates a cozy focal point. With a bathroom on every level and an attached double garage, the layout is both functional and welcoming. The third-floor primary suite is a true retreat, complete with an oversized bedroom and private 4-piece ensuite. Step outside to the spectacular ocean-facing deck spanning the full length of the home — the perfect place to relax, entertain, and soak in the ever-changing tides. The Guest House offers 1,534 square feet with a bright, airy beach-house vibe.
