Meticulously renovated waterfront property, the Captain Joseph Hall House is a rare historic gem in the storybook village of Granville Ferry, directly across the River from Annapolis Royal. This fine home, circa 1881, boasts 4 bedrooms & 4.5 bathrooms, PLUS a bonus waterfront lot AND ornate carriage house. Featuring twin formal parlours (one with wood stove), a grand central staircase, original hardwood and softwood floors, 3 rooms with original tin ceilings, refurbished ripple-glass windows, and so much more. The elegant dining room boasts original artistic plaster frieze, while the bespoke kitchen-anchored by a modern Elmira heritage range & marble counters, flows into a cozy family room with a cast iron propane stove. Additional conveniences include a mudroom, laundry, and powder room on the main floor. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a luxurious ensuite with in-floor heating, period marble sink and refinished clawfoot tub. Three additional large bedrooms with river views, three renovated bathrooms, and a comfortable reading nook. Recognized as Nova Scotia's first registered Bed & Breakfast, the property was operated with distinction for over 50 years, most recently as A Seafaring Maiden, named in honour of Bessie Hall, the Seafaring Maiden of Granville. It has since been impeccably maintained as a private residence. Recent upgrades include a reshingled roof, freshly painted exterior, full insulation (basement and attic), ducted 3 ton heat pump, ductless heat pumps, and updated plumbing and electrical. Full list available. Set on a beautifully landscaped lot with uninterrupted river views, the property also includes bonus waterfront land across the road with a covered pergola, patio, additional parking, and private river access-ideal for leisure or boating. An ornate two-level carriage house adds further charm and potential. Located on a school bus route and within strolling distance of Annapolis Royal & all its amenities.
