Welcome Home to Coastal Charm in Glen Margaret! Rich in history and full of character, this unique home offers a blend of timeless charm & thoughtful modern updates. Previously home to a gift shop and pottery studio, it has been lovingly transformed into a welcoming family home while retaining its distinctive character, including exposed wooden beams & beautiful Cape Breton larchwood flooring. Enjoy the best of coastal living with views of the ocean in front, a lake out back, and a river winding along the property connecting the two bodies of water. The fully fenced yard features established gardens, berry bushes & apple trees, with seasonal colour from spring through fall & local wildlife adding to the natural setting.

A four-piece bathroom upstairs & a second bathroom with a shower on the main floor add convenience. Located on the famous Lighthouse Route, this home is only 30 minutes from Halifax, but also part of a wonderful community with a small-town feeling. It is within walking distance of nature trails, lovely quiet lanes with ocean views, a lake that is perfect for skating & hockey in the winter, & fishing & kayaking in the summer.
