Your chance to live in this historic beauty on 'Albert's Corner' in the small, friendly, bay side community of Port Greville, beside the word's highest tides has arrived. This well sized home has many distinctive characteristics to brag about. It has the significant distinction of being last owned by, and was birthplace of the Right Reverend Leonard Hatfield (Former Bishop of Nova Scotia),  whose father owned it before him, he being part of the Wagstaff and Hatfield Shipyard of yester year. It's steeped in a very pleasant, loving past.

 Many things have been done to move this well appointed home into modern times. They include new windows, insulation, plumbing and many other things to make it comfy, pretty, highly functional and economical. It has had a energy efficient evaluation done with a score of 52,putting it above the average for most homes of this age in N.S. It has also had a very extensive water test performed on the well, with excellent results for chemical and mineral content. These owners are very thorough, and it's evident how much they love this home !

From the very cozy sun porch and bedroom windows you get a great view of the Bay of Fundy . It's only a 5 minute walk to the beach if looking just isn't enough. You can even lay in bed, read a book,  and watch the bay, if you're feeling particularly decadent!

The living space is large enough to be accommodating for your family, but not so large as to be intimidating. It sports a bathroom on both floors, a large kitchen that was born to cook in, lots of office, den space, dining room, a sun porch ideal to spend relaxing times, a craft room, a loft for bedroom or library. There is even a room now set up as a darkroom, if photography is a passion and so much more. Located on a tourist route this is the perfect spot for a home business. High speed internet is available here, a must for those who work at home. *Warning: you might have to close the drapes to block the view to stay focused*

Out side you will find well groomed lawns with many different hedges, shrubs and perennials. A real sanctuary for the many birds that visit there. A great winter pastime is feeding them. Great for the birds and even better for your soul. Many garden beds provide space for growing your own veggies. Already in residence are raspberry canes, a gooseberry bush and wild blackberries for your jam making pleasure.

A large  barn is good dry storage or a place to work and play. A paved driveway with one car garage rounds things out nicely. Recently the roof was re-shingled, the water heater was replaced with a new high energy efficient type and the back room was refurbished to a nice bright office space.

Just when you think it has it all, you find it has the added bonus of having riverfront (tidal) (The Greville River) on the other side, for bass or trout fishing. This truly is best of all worlds.  The old combined with the new in perfect harmony. You'll love this home and area.
