Located within walking distance of cafes, shops, and restaurants, The Eakins House, known locally as 'The Gothik House" is one of Nova Scotia's most unique and cherished properties. This breathtaking Gothic Revival masterpiece has captivated onlookers for generations with its striking architecture and timeless appeal. With steeply pitched gables, intricate window hoods, and an elegant double-door entry, it stands as a stunning testament to Yarmouth's rich history and craftsmanship. It's the kind of home that turns heads and sparks curiosity in everyone who passes by. Step inside and discover a blend of historical character and modern comfort. With five spacious bedrooms and two and a half beautifully renovated bathrooms, the interior has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its original charm. Sunlight pours in through 32 brand-new windows, illuminating refinished plank flooring and custom-built bookshelf cabinetry. The kitchen is a seamless mix of historic elegance and modern convenience, complete with updated appliances and freshly refinished hardwood floors, perfect for gathering and entertaining. Outside, the magic continues. The entire exterior, including the picturesque coach house has been scraped, primed, and painted with care. A re-shingled porch roof and re-pointed stone foundation speak to the level of craftsmanship that's gone into preserving this one-of-a-kind property. The backyard offers a newly restored fence and gates, creating a private oasis in the heart of town. Currently operating as a beloved B&B, The Eakins House presents an exciting opportunity - whether you're dreaming of a distinctive family home or a charming business venture.
