Circa 1907, the elegance and grandeur of an earlier era are hallmarks of this beautifully restored residence and bed & breakfast in the historic town of Lunenburg. Nestled on a tree-lined estate just a ten minute stroll from the bustling waterfront, The Arbor View offers peace and tranquillity and a superb setting. Expansive verandahs on all three levels overlook gardens, a centre courtyard and almost an acre of property - rare in the town of Lunenburg. The collaboration of a trained chef and a skilled interior designer, the pair purchased the property in 1995 and proceeded to rejuvenate, restore and update the home to current codes, converting the house to a gracious Inn with a substantial architecturally well-integrated addition to accommodate the owner's family.

Key elements include rich oak woodwork & hardwood floors, grand proportions & spacious foyers, double front parlours & original oak staircase. The original house includes six bedrooms (all with ensuite baths and beautifully furnished), commercial kitchen and spacious dining room; attached owner's residence comprises 1600 square feet on three levels offering four bedrooms, two baths, kitchen and living space. Screened from the road by a row of magnificent spruce trees, the Arbor View offers an opportunity for those seeking a change in pace or lifestyle. Currently operated as a four bedroom bed & breakfast, the Arbor View would be equally wonderful as a family estate or gathering place, owner's residence plus Bed & Breakfast or full scale Inn. Offered turnkey including period furnishings and antiques. The Arbor View was the recipient of a Nova Scotia Home Award in1996.

Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995, Lunenburg is perhaps best known as home of the famous Bluenose schooner. Lunenburg's narrow streets, captivating architecture and colourful buildings lining the Front Harbour contribute to making it one of Canada's most historic and beautiful towns.
