About 280 Montague Street

If this home could talk, it could relate the details of numerous historic events that have taken place on the Lunenburg waterfront, given its prominent perch on the doorstep of the town's shipbuilding industry. It was here that the original Bluenose slid down the ways in 1921, followed later by Bluenose 11, Bounty, the Rose, and others, with more likely in the future. Built around 1882 solely as a residence, the house eventually evolved into a marine supply retail outlet with a residence on the upper level. The business is not offered for sale, only the building.The owner's preference would be to grant vacant possession but would consider leasing back the commercial space. The eleven hundred sq. ft. upper flat features an open kitchen / dining / living room area with an astounding view out over Lunenburg Harbour, one bedroom and a 3 pc. bath. A cozy wood stove is a nice touch. The owners have had architectural drawings completed for an upper balcony. The main level consists of a 1000 sq. ft. open commercial area plus an office - space that could be renovated into residential use. The partly developed basement has two bedrooms, storage and an outside entrance. The best restaurants, coffee houses and other amenities are very close by. (id:36535)
