57 King Street is a charming mixture of new and old. Constructed in 1857 as Bridgewaters first Presbyterian manse by master builder Joseph Kempt, it consists of the original house and two extensions. It is distinctive outside for its pair of five-sided Scottish dormers which sit over bay windows on the first floor. This house was once home to Bridgewaters first town clerk, James Curll, whose wife planted the large linden tree which still exists in the front yard. This home with marvelous river views sits in a park-like setting with perennial gardens and shrubs accentuated by stonework as well as mature trees. The driveway and parking lot are paved. There is a free standing greenhouse on the property as well as a two-story building with a finished top floor that has hardwood floors and is heated with a wood stove, perfect for a yoga or writing studio or a meditation retreat. This owner-occupied home was extensively renovated recently with new windows and doors, solid pine clapboard, insulation, wiring and plumbing. The living space glows from custom cherry millwork and warm hemlock and maple floors. There are three heating systemsheat pump, oil furnace, and wood stove. There are two in-law suites located on the ground floor. This is country living at its finest on a one and one quarter acre property. The south shores sandy beaches are a twenty minute drive away and the Halifax International Airport is a convenient one hour and fifteen minutes away. (id:45785)
