Description
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. Nationally recognized as the Globe & Mail’s “Home of the Week” (May 8, 2026), this exceptional property features 4 bedrooms & 4.5 bathrooms, PLUS a bonus waterfront lot AND ornate carriage house. Highlights include twin formal parlours (one with wood stove), a grand central staircase, original wood flooring, 3 rooms with original tin ceilings, and more. The elegant Wedgwood blue dining room showcases an intricate original “wedding cake” plaster frieze, while the bespoke kitchen, anchored by a modern Elmira Heritage range & marble counters, flows into a cozy family room with 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 water views, renovated bathrooms, and a comfortable reading nook complete the second floor. The third floor offers walk-up attic access with further development potential. The flexible layout may also allow conversion into two separate 2-storey dwellings. Recognized as Nova Scotia’s first registered Bed & Breakfast, the property operated with distinction for over 50 years, recently as A Seafaring Maiden. It has since been impeccably maintained as a private residence. Recent upgrades include a reshingled roof, freshly painted exterior, full insulation, ducted and ductless heat pumps, and updated plumbing and electrical. Set on a beautifully landscaped lot with uninterrupted views, the property also includes bonus waterfront land across the road with covered pergola, patio, additional parking, and private water access. Located on a school bus route and within strolling distance of Annapolis Royal. Furniture inclusion possible.
