About this property
Former church converted to open concept home. 25 minutes from Halifax Airport
Located in the quaint town of Stewiacke, touted as halfway between the north pole and equator, this former church has been been converted in to a beautiful open concept home where century charm meets modern style.
Entering the home, ones eyes are immediately drawn to the 28ft wood ceilings and two of the original stained glass windows, backlit with remote controlled accent lighting.
Tucked away up in the new loft addition, you'll find a large, yet cozy king size bed to ensure you'll have a comfortable sleep, and a chest of drawers offers plenty of space to organize your clothes during your stay. A large flat screen TV can be watched from the comfort of bed and a cozy nook with a couch is the perfect place to curl up and read a book.
This home has a beautiful sitting/living area, furnished with a comfortable couch that can also be used for additional sleep space, and a large flat screen TV with cable, android box and Netflix.
Where the altar once was, is now a spacious eat-in kitchen. Crisp, clean and modern, this kitchen is fully equipped for all of your cooking needs. Enjoy a tasty home cooked meal around the huge dining room table, or sip a quiet cup of coffee at the bistro set and watch the passersby through the window.
This home is entirely open concept, with the exception of the spacious bathroom. Looking much like a walkway to an outside entrance, this bathroom is brightly lit, has an elegant glass walk-in shower, washer, dryer, and ample counter space.
Outside is sure to please, as well as this property boasts a large 12 x 30 veranda that is seasonally furnished with plenty of comfortable seating space, a dining set and barbecue.
During your stay, you'll have the convenience of keyless entry, free WiFi and cable TV. Air conditioning for the hot summer days, and a wood stove for those chilly winter nights.
*Guest Access*
Guests will have access to the main level of the home, including the veranda.
Host is on-site in the lower part of the house. The door connecting the two floors is locked from both sides for the privacy of both host and guests.
