458-460 Summer St W

Always wanted to live somewhere with a view of the ocean? With views of the Atlantic Ocean's Bay of Fundy, here is your chance to make your dreams come true!

Built in 1914 for Captain Jack McNulty, president of a Caribbean trading company, this magnificent home is equipped with updated kitchens upstairs and down, making it a perfect home for a caterer, in-home bakery or the consummate entertainer, or you could live on one floor and rent out or AirBnB the other (as has been done for past couple years); it is currently legally taxed as a single-family residence.

Totally updated and upgraded electrical and plumbing, three mini-split heat pumps for heating and cooling, a brand-new roof for the rear stairwell addition and many new windows perfectly complement the original Maritime Vernacular original and substantial trimwork, French doors, tiled fireplaces, pocket doors, stained glass and built-in bookcases.

Both upstairs and down feature sizable sitting rooms and living rooms with ocean views, as well as formal dining rooms. Most rooms feature 9 ft. ceilings, lending to the homes' spaciousness. Downstairs has all-new bathroom tiling and features; upstairs retains the bathroom's original wainscoting, double faucet corner sink and clawfoot deep tub, for luxuriant soaks by candlelight.

Both kitchens are of the eat-in variety. The downstairs kitchen features custom built cabinetry, stone countertops, a built-in folding bistro table and metallic backsplashing and a laundry area, while upstairs is a cavernous kitchen with abundant cabinetry, as well as a separate butler's pantry and cabinetry area. Both living floors have a massive amount of insulation, as well as a secondary forced-air heating system.

In addition to the upstairs and downstairs, the basement offers an additional almost 900 sf of space for work, play or storage - and a separate approx. 120 sf. storage room. It also features multiple heavy duty huge workbenches, hardwired for any project or hobby you can dream of, as well as a floor mounted custom-built knife sharpener and grinder.

Out back, a patio awaits you, perfect for a table and chairs, as well as a separate barbecue area and a firepit with its own roughhewn bench for enjoying those cosy nights gathered around a crackling flame.

Just two blocks above Bayshore Beach, enjoy looking at container ships at anchor or cruise ships transiting the bay by day from the vantage point of the front deck, and doze off to the beacon of the lighthouse and the sounds of the waves crashing the shores of the beach by night. Walk to the historic Carleton Martello Tower (the next street over) or nature's amazing Reversing Falls, or enjoy a stroll at the nearby Irving Nature Park or the Harbour Passage walking trail. You are literally minutes from everything, including two schools (one just down the street), universities, hospitals and plenty cultural and entertainment options.

Only six families have owned this magnificent home in its long life, which are all well documented. From the original shipping magnate and railroad men, to a funeral director, a museum curator and a lawyer, it beckons you to join their number.
