37 Beachy Cove Road

Portugal Cove

Let the alure of this picturesque rich red clapboard siding home, the naturalness of the velvety greenery surrounding it and the constantly changing colours of the ocean across from it cause you to pause for just that second to catch your breath and admire the simplicity of its beauty. Built 100 plus years ago, this commonly known Salt Box style home, but that many are distinguishing now as a Biscuit Box home, sits right in the heart of The Cove, as the residents of Portugal Cove fondly refer to this section of the community. With Bell Island just across the way and the ferry travelling to and from it on a daily basis, the little boats dotting the waters when the cod fishery opens for the season and the locals and tourists coming & going, there’s always a sight for the eye, especially when sitting on the large verandah! And, once you step inside, you will be taken back in time to the days long ago, which are generally now just faded images in your mind’s eye. But not so here; this totally unexpected home, right in the midst of large, beautiful and modern homes, will now greet you with an interior that will wash you with memories of generations past, both in how the rooms are laid out as well as the many olden, but admired items, furniture and wall hangings that surround you. Don’t be completely fooled though, as windows, sidings, verandah, electrical, plumbing and roof coverings have all been updated or replaced and the house does include 1 full bath, 1 half bath, a built on primary bedroom to the main floor, a certified wood stove installed and municipal services, etc., to make your “BAY” home more comfortable. Whatever your reason for purchasing this full bundle of charm, character & comfort, you will unquestionably enjoy working on any additional changes you may want to make and provide you with interesting conversation for years to come! (Furniture, antiques and art can be purchased). (id:2493)
