Amenities and special features of this house
The home at 331 Lincoln was built in 1877 for James Hunt, described as a yeoman in the deed registry 1876. Fully renovated in 2008, its effective age is a mere 15 years young. The house covers an area just shy of 3300 sq. feet, and every inch and aspect has been upgraded, restored and improved, all the while maintaining the integrity of this historically significant home. A welcoming entrance invites friends and neighbours up from Lincoln Street to the impressive Lunenburg Bump entry. The central plan remains with a generous hall and 10' ceilings. The front rooms to the east and west mirror each other - creating a calming balance with the warm tones and floor-to-ceiling custom-built cabinetry. Continuing down the hall, to the east, is a large room with custom cabinetry and an ensuite bath. Currently, it is used as a bedroom, functioning well for the extended stays of friends. This room would also be a lovely main-level office, den or music room. To the west of the hall is the spacious kitchen with maple cabinets, marble countertops and ample seating for family-style dinners. It is perfect for the chef of the house! To the back of the main level is the porch leading to the garden. Again, it has ample storage with custom cabinetry and a tidy half bath. With its gentle rise, the restored staircase leads to four bedrooms. Three-quarters up a landing extends to the family bathroom with an oversized shower, maple cabinets, heated towel rack and marble-topped vanity. Up the last few steps, the gracious hall leads to the charming Lunenburg bump - the perfect spot to read and relax. The four bedrooms on this level all have custom cabinets making excellent use of the slopped ceiling, creating a generous room with excellent storage and visual peace. One of the bedrooms is currently used as an office with a Murphy bed tucked smarty away, ideal for extended family stays. The principal bedroom is to the northeast and includes a beautiful ensuite with an oversized shower, cherry cabinets, a heated towel rack, a sizeable marble-topped vanity and a soaker tub. To the lower level is a beautiful space featuring heated porcelain tile floor, ceiling and walls exquisitely finished with beadboard in warm caramel tones. A natural stone fireplace surround, with a wood stove insert, adds to this cosy space. There is also a secondary room, most recently used as an artist studio, a three-piece bath echoing the others, laundry, and the impressive mechanical system on this level. The outside is just as impressive as within. The low-maintenance landscaping has been professionally designed - with choice perennials playing on texture, colour and fragrance. A garden room with soft grey pavers is set to the east side of the lot, buffered by a privacy fence and a charming garden shed, with embellishments and tones matching the home. This space lends itself to lively summer evening entertaining to quiet morning contemplation. Additional features include but are not limited to, an impressive propane household generator with automatic start, custom cabinets built by renowned Lunenburg master carpenter Charles Lantz, and solid wood custom-made furniture by Halifax furniture makers Kirby and Wentzel Geddes. 331 Lincoln Street is unparalleled in its thoughtful, thorough renovation by highly skilled craftspeople. A property best experienced to be fully appreciated. An extensive list of features is available.
