"Arts and Crafts" Home in Canning

Part of the charm of this property is the community itself. It’s located in the Village of Canning, on a side street just off Main Street. You can easily walk to the Post Office, the village meat market, grocery store, cafe, pharmacy, doctor’s office, building supplies, hardware, art store, and other shops along the main street. Or walk the path to the duck pond. Or walk to the schools, skating rink, sports fields, churches and tennis courts.

Kingsport is minutes away and you are within 15 minutes to three beaches. Of course, Wolfville, Kentville and New Minas are all within 10 minutes providing easy access to all major shops and services. The village is surrounded by beautiful fields, farms, forests and long views. It’s a great place to call home, just one hour to the city.

The house was built in 1910 and provides 1,900 square feet of living space on two levels. It’s been very well maintained with recent upgrades. The “Arts and Crafts” architectural details of the interior include wood floors, Douglas Fir baseboards, trims and doors. There is an interesting built-in china cabinet and a fabulous east facing sunroom.

On the main level you find a large eat-in kitchen that opens to a spacious diningroom. There’s a large livingroom with a newly installed wood burning fireplace insert. The front entry porch opens to a foyer and off to the left is the main floor family room or study. Across the entire back, accessed from the kitchen is the sunroom with traditional beadboard inner walls, wood ceiling and two walls of windows. Upstairs are three bedrooms. The master is over 20 feet long and has two walk-in closets. There’s a full bath plus a sitting area at the far end of the upper foyer.

The house sits on a full concrete basement and has oil fired hot water heating with the very efficient cast iron rads. It has municipal water and sewer and upgraded electric.

The property is not large, but offers a pleasant front yard, a nice backyard with small patio area and a detached garage. The backyard is ideal for a pet, small children or gardens and offers a great deal of potential for a new owner with some creative ideas.

If you are looking for a terrific home with lots of character in a village setting, don’t miss out on this rare opportunity. I think you’ll also love the price.
