Property Description
3469 Route 127, Bayside
Offered at: $349,000 CDN
This authentic late 1800's farm house has been well maintained
its entire life time. Sitting on 18 plus acres of pastureland,
the house enjoys gorgeous views of the historic St. Croix River
and Dochet’s Island. A country lane runs the entire length
of the property; at the end of the lane is the beautiful Chamcook
Lake - perfect for boating and fishing. This property is ideally
located in Bayside, New Brunswick, less than 10 minutes from
St. Andrews and 20 minutes from the US border at Calais, ME.
From the moment you enter wide drive and spacious parking area,
you can determine current and past owners have used and enjoyed
the outside environs of this property. The original shingled
barn and chicken coop still stands and is used to house horses
which graze in the fenced pasture. A second 35' X 32" barn
has recently been built and almost the entire house is surrounded
by perennial gardens and flowering shrubs. The four giant maples
that stand sentinel on either side of the house are also surrounded
by flower gardens. The covered, wrap around porch add a touch
of whimsy to this sturdy farmhouse, with its turned posts and
gingerbread.
Besides the porch, there is a 37' X 16' two-level side deck
that is nothing short of an outside living room. Its railings
are deep benches for comfortable seating, there are built-in
storage cupboards and a lattice-screened entry. This deck is
surrounded by terraced gardens and enjoys the water sounds from
a nearby built pond and fountain. A second deck is at the rear
of the house and is the home of the hot tub, it has been made
very private by lattice work.
From the side deck, you enter the newer wing of the house and
into a lovely foyer. This room, as in all the rooms of the house,
has the soft luster of honey-colored wood floors. From here,
you have several options; you can move to the large, eat-in
kitchen with its built-in appliances, up the back stairs to
a large, two-level family room with a balcony overlooking the
pastures, or downstairs to a large office/gym. This room leads
to the back deck and hot tub. There is also a large laundry/storage
room off this entry.
From the kitchen, you move into a large formal dining room
with a sitting area at one end. In this sitting area there is
a cozy gas wood-style stove, as well as a large, under the stairs,
storage closet. The formal, front entry is spacious and full
of light; from here you can enter the living room with its water
views or go up stair case with its original newel post and banister.
All three bedrooms are off a central hall as is the large, well
appointed bath with its spa tub.
