HUBBARDS HOME AND GARDENS. Circa 1876 home in impeccable condition, walking distance to all that Hubbards has to offer. Features include gleaming hardwood floors on the main floor and wide pine plank floors upstairs, spacious living room and formal dining room, main floor den or office, and a light filled, functional kitchen/ sunroom addition with vaulted ceiling plus mudroom and powder room. The breakfast sunroom is a serene, airy place to enjoy morning coffee, views of the ever-changing garden scenery and birds flitting about or enjoy the outdoors from the flagstone patio or a walk through the paths and sitting areas on the property. The home has been totally updated without losing the original charm. (full list of updates available.) Antique schoolhouse ceiling lights were added as accents. Original newel post and solid staircase lead to an upper landing with skylight, three bedrooms and full bath with laundry. The current owners have been conscientious stewards for the last 30+ years adding a myriad of flowering shrubs, trees, and perennial gardens to the original specimens which include old apple varieties and Captain Steel Rhododendrons. A forest path on the property leads to the Rails to Trails for hiking and cycling. Located in the Shatford Trust Fund area, walking distance to shops, restaurants, library and the Waterfront Park and Marina, Farmer's market, and convenient to the Shore Club lobster suppers and live music. A 35 minute commute to Halifax.
