'If I had an old house on the East Coast, I would fall in love at first sight. It would grab me by the heart, and not let go' & Wanda Baxter. And 47 Broad Street does just that. If I had a century home in Lunenburg, the moment you stepped through the stately front door you will instantly feel at home. It would exude a casual elegance, a mix of 19th Century opulence and the warmth of over 100 years of love and laughter. If I had a century home in Lunenburg, it would be perfect for entertaining, every party would end up in the kitchen, where party goers could pull up a stool at the oversized island and have a perfectly chilled glass of wine, and the large dining room would be home to family gatherings for another century. If I had a century home in Lunenburg, I would have a special corner next to a window with perfect lighting to curl up in and read a book, and I would spend my mornings on the upper balcony drinking coffee with glimpses of the Front Harbour in the distance. If I had a century home in Lunenburg, it would be in New Town just outside the hustle and bustle of Old Town, but steps to the Bluenose and the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. On warm summer's evenings I would walk down to Pelham Street and have supper on a patio, and in the winter, I would enjoy intimate Symphony Nova Scotia performances at St John's Anglican Church. But best of all, if I had a century home in Lunenburg, it would be completely restored to the highest standards from stem to stern, exceeding today's building standards, so that it will be worry-free and maintenance-free for years to come. It would offer all the comforts of the 21st Century but all the character of the 19th Century. Could 47 Broad be your old house on the East Coast?
