Property Description
Step into historic charm at 88 Main Road! Built in approximately 1920 by merchants Jesse and Minnie Butt, owners of the store across from the railway station, this spectacular character home brings you back in time while blending historic elegance with modern comfort. Located on a large lot on the main road, the home is tucked behind mature evergreens, creating exceptional privacy. Additional features include mature fruit trees (2 pear and 1 apple), a rhubarb patch, a sheltered fire pit, a hammock, a large gravel driveway, and plenty of space to grow your own food. This serene escape, creative sanctuary, or part-time Airbnb opportunity offers the added benefit of no property taxes, with only approximately $120 annually for fire protection, garbage collection, and snow clearing.
Enjoy the full-day sun, country kitchen with updated appliances, original hardwood floors, cast iron clawfoot tub, and bright library with sliding glass doors opening to the deck. Recent upgrades provide peace of mind, including an approximately three-year-old roof on the main home, upgraded 200-AMP electrical panel, approximately 2013 windows, added roof insulation, recently pumped 1,200-gallon concrete septic tank, brand-new fibreglass oil tank with approximately $1,000 of oil included, and new washer and dryer. Heating includes hot water radiation, electric baseboard heating, two wood stoves, and a fireplace.
Western Bay is known for its warm, welcoming community spirit, where neighbours look out for one another, creating an inviting place to call home. Situated on the scenic North Shore of Conception Bay, you are just a short walk from the community swimming hole, scenic boardwalk, sandy beach, and lighthouse. The property is also just 10-minutes from Northern Bay Sands, 15 minutes from Salmon Cove, 20 minutes from Carbonear, and 90-minutes from St. John's. This one-of-a-kind character home offers a wonderful turn-key opportunity with negotiable furnishings.
