Tucked away in Nova Scotia, this Gothic Revival gem has been part of Yarmouth’s history for nearly 150 years. Locals lovingly call it the ‘Gothik House,’ but its real name is the Eakins House. With over 2,000 square feet, this stunning home is a true masterpiece brimming with history and charm.
The home was built in 1877 in the picturesque port town of Yarmouth. Once a bustling hub of the shipping world as Canada’s second-largest port of registry, the city is now known for its stunning harbour, scenic beauty, and warm, inviting community spirit.
Step through the majestic double doors to find five generously sized bedrooms and three renovated bathrooms. Sunlight illuminates all areas of the home, and the layout has been thoughtfully planned.
Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully restored, the home has seen a few upgrades. Most recently, all the windows have been replaced, and the plank flooring has been refinished. The kitchen is still filled with historic charm but with the convenience of modern amenities, including new appliances and refinished hardwood. The home is currently being used as a bed and breakfast.
Cozy up in the living room with the beautiful bookcases and the fireplace, or gather in the family room, big enough for hosting parties or for everyone to have their own space.
Rich wood trim is found around all the doorways and outlining all the windows, perfectly matching the cabinetry and flooring. Custom built-in bookshelves are another relatively new addition to the home and were crafted to blend seamlessly with the original woodwork.
