Welcome to one of Halifax's most private and special waterfront properties on the Northwest Arm in beloved Jollimore. Set on over an acre of land with 163' feet of waterfront and on the market for the first time since 1967, this incredible property boasts a natural dock with deep anchorage and a beach on either side (very rare) where you can play by the shore, swim, boat, sail, launch your kayaks, paddle board and enjoy all that waterfront living offers. Built in 1895, this timeless home & property was a large summer home for AE McManus - naming it Unadilla - House of Peace - a name that still resonates today. With over 3400 sq ft of living space including an expansive 1448 sqft on the main level, the home offers a warm, character rich atmosphere with it's high ceilings, large staircase, original douglas fir walls, expansive dining room & living area for large gatherings, a hidden second staircase off the kitchen, gorgeous water views and the ultimate space - an enclosed wraparound deck where you will love to entertain, enjoy the water view and the sail boats drift by and watch the storms come in. The layout includes 4 bedrooms up including a primary with walk-in closet and ensuite, another bedroom in the basement as well as a large rec room with stairs access to the wraparound deck and great storage room. While the home could benefit from updating, the opportunity to restore and personalize a home of this size in such a rare setting is unmatched. The expansive lot also presents potential for subdivision, offering future development opportunities without compromising privacy or water access. On city water and sewer, and located steps to Sir Sanford Fleming Park (the Dingle), two yacht clubs, the Pond Playhouse and only 15 minutes to downtown Halifax, Unadilla is more than just a home - it's a lifestyle, a retreat and piece of Halifax's waterfront legacy.
