Property Description:

Offered at: $379,500 CDN

Beautifully restored and maintained, this Georgian-style brick home is one of St. Andrews" most historically significant homes. Built by Harris Hatch in the 1840's with bricks made and fired on site, the building retains its original grace and grandeur, while having had all its systems modernized including air conditioning, electrical and plumbing services, windows and insulation. For the past several years, this wonderful property has been a private residence as well as a successful Bed and Breakfast, known as the Harris Hatch Inn.

Hardwood floors, high ceilings, and two wood-burning fireplaces add to the ambiance, while ensuite baths, well-designed kitchen, and energy efficiency make it desirable to today"s buyer. The main part of the home has four bedrooms, three full and one half baths. There are also two, ground level, one bedroom apartments, suitable as in-law suites or for generating rental revenue.

Ideally located within the historic town plat, close to shops and restaurants and only one block from Passamaquoddy Bay, this home is on a meticulously landscaped property complete with brick walks, evergreen and flowering shrubs, pond, perennial beds, lawn and paved drive and parking. The columned portico gracing the front of this stately home, is approached on either side by a curved brick walk. The front entry is distinctive with its over-size door and its original brass hardware, side lights and fan-style, multicolored transom.

The large, slate-floor foyer , flows to a half bath, up the central stair, and to the family room on one side and the formal living room on the other. The nine foot ceilings, deep moldings at the window door surrounds and baseboards all add to the grandeur of the home. The large family room with its wood burning fireplace adjoins and informal dining area and the home’s designer kitchen - making this the heart of the home. From the kitchen you may enter the home office with its built in desk, or open a door and go into a large laundry/storage/work/ and mud room - a truly versatile room which opens via convenient double doors to a large, very private outside deck.

The formal living room has a beautiful marble mantel and fireplace surround, deep cove plaster molding at the ceiling and an expansive arch between it and the formal dining room behind. The dining room is easily accessed by the kitchen through the home office. The dining room may be closed from the living room by closing the pocket doors fitted into the arch. All the rooms are well lit by large windows, all of which have been replaced with sympathetically designed, energy-efficient models.

On the second level, above the family and living rooms, are two large Master Suites, each with a wood-burning fireplace. They both have spacious ensuite baths with deep soaker tubs and one is fitted with a stand-alone shower. Large closets, one a spacious walk-in, wood-panel doors, ceiling fans, and distinctive mantels complete these two beautiful rooms.

Before heading to the third floor, note the small sitting area on the back landing as well as the large linen storage closet. There are two large bedrooms on the third level, as well as a full third bath. Part of a large storage room on this level, could easily be converted to a fourth ensuite bath.

In more recent years, two modern, one bedroom ground-level apartments have been added to the rear of the property overlooking the back lawns and gardens. While both have their own outside entrances, one can also be accessed by a door opening into the mud/laundry room. Both apartments have kitchen, dining area, living room, bedroom and full bath. Both are finished with wood floors and have private decks. These apartments can be used as in-law suites or as rentals. Since the demand for rentals is high in St. Andrews, they have never been empty.

The full basement is accessed from the mud/laundry room. It is fitted with two work shop areas, a “cave” or wine storage room, a central vacuum system for the work shop area and one for the rest of the house, and oil-fired furnace which supplies hot water to baseboard heaters throughout the house, a 400 amp electrical service, and an air conditioning system which services the entire house. The house has many extra features including high-end built in appliances, Wilsonart counter tops in the kitchen along with double porcelain sinks, and built in china hutch. The asphalt roof was replaced three years ago on the main part of the house and only two years ago on the apartments and both chimneys have been repaired and re-parged four years ago.

Meticulously maintained, the property is move-in ready, to be used as either a family home, a Bed and Breakfast - or both.

This property generates significant income and offers exceptional value.
