Property Description
Welcome to Annapolis Royal’s most iconic mansion, where a majestic, tree-lined, canopied driveway leads to a local landmark, as private as it is historic. Built of granite and employing almost 50 local artisans in its 6-year construction from 1929, this marathon commission was built for an American industrialist, using premium materials, such as 18-inch-thick walls, Pittsburgh steel, and a solid copper roof. With 380 bucolic acres, both meadow and woodland; over 6400 square feet of finished living area; a full basement; and a two-bay, built-in garage, space is both comfortable and lavish, thanks to a 7-year programme of restoration and modernization by the current owners, in keeping with the original design. The main foyer sets the tone, with an elegant circular staircase at one end. A warm and welcoming great room anchors the west wing, with bespoke cabinetry and a Belgian, wood-burning fireplace. French doors open to a stand of rhododendrons, while bay windows illumine the space at either end. The east wing features a country kitchen, butler’s pantry, and dining room, while both bathrooms have been modernized. The second-floor landing splits the bedrooms into two wings, each with a specific layout and attributes. The primary bedroom features access to the media room, carved out of the former servants’ quarters, a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom with whirlpool, along with two additional full bathrooms and several walk-in closets for additional comfort and space. The top floor has an additional fifth bedroom, with a bunk bed, large closet, and plentiful storage space. Period details abound, with original slate and oak flooring, panelled oak walls, soapstone windowsills, Perrin and Rowe hardware, detailed trim, and a genuine Thomas Crapper toilet. Important components include completely rewired electrical infrastructure (LED lighting throughout), a commercial propane tank, high-end generator, high-speed Internet, a Russound built-in sound system...
