248 Main Street, Canso, NS B0H1H0

Situated on 2.90 acres - Built in 1977, and delivered by train, this Lindal Cedar Home (Lexington Post and Beam Construction) arrived as a package, taking up an entire box car on the train. The train, which was traveling from British Columbia, stopped in Antigonish where materials had to be picked up, and brought back to Canso (Town). Unfortunately, half way through the train left and made it's way to Harvre Bouchie, with materials still remaining on the train. Luckily, with help from a good long time friend, all materials were picked up in Harvre Bouchie and brought back to Canso to finally start the building process. The exterior of the home features 2' x 8' Tounge and Groove Cedar Planks, a beautiful balcony, two spacious decks that extend the whole width of the home in the front, and close to full width in the back, along with a slight overhang at the rear of the house, allowing extra sq footage on the 2nd level. The main floor highlights a vibrant eat in kitchen, equipped with a compost/food disposal system, a dishwasher, and plenty of cabinetry for dishes and storage. The dining room has patio access to the back deck, perfect for entertaining guests, and having a BBQ. The living room, being an abundance of space, gives warmth to the area with a fully functional wood fireplace, aside from the big picture windows that radiate it's own heat and natural lighting from the sun. The second level has 2 comfortably sized bedrooms, a Primary Bedroom - with a walk in closet, along with a bright 5 piece full bath. Making your way to the basement you will greeted by a large great room at the bottom of the stairs, a half bath + laundry, an office/den, utility room, and additional storage area under the stairs. The office/den in the basement is believed to be suitable for use of a bedroom, however, Buyer's are urged to do their own due diligence to ensure the height from the floor to the window is acceptable for safety reasons.
