This large historic home could tell some happy tales. A family home for many years, she has seen lots of happy times. Make your own memories here in the small sea side village of Advocate. The view from the 1.5 acre property is a pretty one. The harbour and ocean in eye's sight will call your name and beckon you to walk on the beach nearby. The wharf is also a 5 minute walk away, where you can get the freshest supply of the some of  best darn scallops and lobster in Nova Scotia, straight from the fishermen. Watch them travel in and out of the bay. The people are friendly here and the community has everything you need in smaller version. Groceries, library, gas, liquor outlet, post office, library, recreational building where I hear on farmers market day you can buy the most delicious home made dessert and drink for a song. The school boasts the highest scholastic level in N.S. Come take a step back where the living is slow and easy. Everyone still waves and gives you a friendly welcome.

The home needs lots of TLC but she has great bones. Cement basement, Good sized rooms, 4-5 bedrooms, a formal dining and huge eat in country kitchen, formal living room with arched doorway, and den (it was last used as a 5th bedroom) , a side verandah and porch are all found downstairs. Upstairs you will find the bedrooms and large bathroom. The heating system needs updated and roof will need re-shingled soon but the low price reflects these things. Outside is a large old barn isn't in great shape and  may or may not be able to be salvaged, that we will leave up to your discretion.

She is a project well worth restoring to her grand state. If you are looking for an older fixer upper, close to the ocean then you have found your match! A good year round or seasonal getaway are both great reasons to buy.
