208 - 476 Main St

"The Quinlan" is located in Mahone Bay by the sea, on the grounds of the historic former Inglis mansion, by the banks of the Maggie Maggie River. Its beautifully landscaped and treed grounds, set back far from the road, provide a garden oasis in the heart of town - adjacent a central park and a level stroll past the duck ponds and gardens to the shopping on Main Street. This is a favorable corner unit, with light entering the suite from two directions. A wrap-around balcony overlooks the grounds from this second-floor suite lending a tree-house view through the trees 180 degrees. There are two bedrooms - one with ensuite, the other adjacent to the common bath. The living-dining-kitchen area is open-concept, occupying the corner of the suite with a glass garden door lending access to the balcony. The laundry is tucked away, in a closed room off the front foyer, close to the bedrooms at your convenience. The ensuite bath has been renovated as is the custom, well appointed kitchen. The building offers a second floor common room with large sitting and dining areas, gas fireplace and fully equipped kitchen for entertaining during community get-togethers and special events. The front lobby is large and welcoming with generous seating for awaiting friends, and the interior parking and elevator will certainly provide for a lifestyle of ease. Mahone Bay has an active senior program at the Community Centre offering courses, exercise classes, artists' studio classes and lectures. The medical clinic is a short walk away as is: the drug store, dental clinic, post office, bank, shops and restaurants. With Halifax being just one hour's drive away, this lovely suite may deserve serious consideration for someone wanting to escape the city, without losing the convenience of town living. The quality of one's surroundings is evident the moment one exits The Quinlan. Take a quiet stroll to the ocean each evening; the beautiful seaside town of Mahone Bay has so much to offer. (id:54626)
