Featured as the Globe & Mail's Home of the Week (May 2026), the Captain Joseph Hall House is a nationally recognized historic WATERFRONT property enjoying sweeping south-facing views across the Annapolis River to the historic town of Annapolis Royal. Meticulously restored, this exceptional circa-1881 home offers 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, an ornate two-storey carriage house, with electrical & plumbing, and a separately deeded waterfront lot with gazebo, shoreline improvements, private water access, and additional parking. Rich in history, the home is connected to the Captain's daughter, Bessie Hall, Nova Scotia's famed "Seafaring Maiden." Original wood floors, tin ceilings, twin formal parlours, a grand central staircase, and the elegant Wedgwood blue dining room with its intricate "wedding cake" plaster frieze showcase remarkable period craftsmanship. The bespoke kitchen with marble countertops opens to a welcoming family room with cast iron propane stove, while the main level also features a laundry room, powder room, and secondary staircase. Upstairs are four spacious bedrooms, four full bathrooms, walk-in closets, and spectacular river views. A full-height walk-up attic offers future development potential, and the flexible floor plan may allow conversion into two separate two-storey dwellings. Recognized as Nova Scotia's first registered Bed & Breakfast, this award-winning property welcomed guests for more than 50 years before becoming a meticulously maintained private residence. Recent improvements include a reshingled roof, freshly painted exterior, upgraded insulation, ducted and ductless heat pumps, and updated plumbing and electrical systems. Beautifully landscaped and within walking distance of Annapolis Royal's shops, restaurants, galleries, and attractions. Furniture inclusions possible. HST included. (id:63476)
