While only ten minutes from historic St. Andrews, this lovely seaside home has the feel of being in the countryside with its expansive, gently sloping property. It sits on 6.4 acres, with approximately 230 feet of ocean frontage and private beach. Located on the Bay of Fundy which sports the highest tides in the world, gradually changing the home’s view every twelve hours. While large swaths of the property are mowed fields, closer to the house are flowering shrubs, apple trees, perennial gardens, a vegetable garden, a large lily pond, a small rill with a cross-over walking bridge and several shrubs and ancient evergreen give it privacy from the street.

A mowed path, affectionately known as the “loop”, circumvents the property and gives easy access to the beach. There are three out buildings: a two-car garage with cement floor and extra storage, a large garden shed which once served as a milk house in St. Andrews, and a small guest cottage. The guest cottage, with its board and batten exterior and outside deck, enjoys the same views as the house. Three strategically planted mulberry bushes add a certain elegance to this rustic cottage. All three of these buildings are serviced by electricity.

While the original portion of the home was built in 1843, the home was expanded in 1982, giving it a large entry and closet, a spacious, living room flooded with light from its many windows , a large Master bedroom and another full bath. The entry hall opens into the family/dining room - large enough to accommodate both uses and still feel spacious. Being in the older portion of the home, this room has the original beamed ceiling. A custom fireplace with lovely wood mantel and the stained pine wall surrounding it, gives this room a wonderful, cozy ambiance.

The kitchen also has a beamed ceiling, built in appliances, and extra storage under the stairs. Also on this level is a full bath which has been recently renovated with tiled, heated floor and large corner shower. The home has two sets of stairs; the stairway beginning in the kitchen leads to a home office with a sky light and great water views. The second set of stairs, goes to a spacious hall, the upper full bath and the Master bedroom. The home’s second bedroom can be accessed either through the office or this upper hall.

The stone and concrete basement has a convenient outside entrance and built in storage shelves. Extras include new septic in 2006 and a new roof in 2003. Energy efficient, the home’s annual electrical bill, which includes heat, is approximately $3,000.
