Welcome to the Captain's House - a stunning water view property with deeded shore access. Perched atop a gentle hill overlooking the Pinette river, this 4 bedroom character home offers a rare opportunity to experience the quintessential Prince Edward Island lifestyle. Here, days unfold at a different pace with spectacular southwest-facing sunsets. Built in 1878 by Captain Simon Murchison, a prominent local ship captain who operated his own shipping dock along the Pinette River, this stately four-bedroom home is steeped in maritime history and craftsmanship seldom found today. Offering more than 3,400 square feet of living space, the home has been lovingly maintained while preserving the character and authenticity that make it truly special. Throughout the residence, original details tell the story of its seafaring past. Two fireplaces were transported from Spain aboard one of Captain Murchison's trading voyages, while the dining room ceiling showcases beautiful Douglas Fir brought across the country from British Columbia. Wide-plank flooring, substantial trim and mouldings, and soaring 9.5-foot ceilings speak to an era when homes were built with extraordinary care and permanence. Inside, an abundance of inviting spaces allows everyone to find their own quiet retreat. Spend mornings on the front porch, gather around the bay window in the living room, enjoy coffee in the breakfast nook, host memorable dinners in the elegant dining room, or escape to the inspiring third-floor studio loft. Deeded water access invites endless days of kayaking, boating, paddle-boarding, and exploration along the Pinette River. Whether envisioned as a year-round residence, a seasonal retreat, or an exceptional income-generating vacation property, The Captain's House offers remarkable flexibility. Comfortably accommodating up to fourteen guests, it provides the ideal setting for unforgettable family gatherings, water adventures, and authentic island experiences. (id:2493)
