Description

Built in 1769, Michaelmas Cottage is among the earliest surviving homes in the area, set on land shaped by both Acadian history and early New England settlement. Carefully maintained over the centuries, it retains the character and craftsmanship of its era. Inside, exceptionally wide plank floors, worn softly over generations, run underfoot, framed by exposed beams of a scale no longer produced. Solid wood doors retain their original brass and glass hardware, while fresh paint throughout much of the home provides a clean backdrop for its historic details. Two wood-burning appliances anchor the living spaces, including a fireplace and a wood stove set within the original brick oven in the summer kitchen. In one telling detail, interior door frames were intentionally set slightly out of level, reflecting an early belief that imperfection could ward off unwanted spirits. The home offers three large bedrooms and two baths. Each bedroom features a skylight, bringing natural light to the upper level, where sloping ceilings and exposed structure contribute to the home's distinctive character. The staircase turns tightly as it rises, a reminder that this house was built in a different era. Set on approximately one acre, partially fenced at the front, the property backs onto fields stretching toward South Mountain. A glimpse of the Annapolis Basin can be found from the front, while a stone terrace and deck beneath an apple tree invite outdoor living. Thoughtful updates have been made throughout. Cedar shake siding has been replaced while maintaining the home's original character. Vinyl windows and architectural shingles provide durability, and the property is connected to municipal water and sewer. Granville Ferry and Annapolis Royal are just minutes away, offering shops, cafes, trails, and the waterfront. If you are drawn to natural materials, enduring craftsmanship, and a sense of history carried forward rather than erased, Michaelmas Cottage is a home that will resonate.
