Historic Beachfront Retreat. Step back in time with this beautiful 3-storey Victorian masterpiece. Built in the mid 1800s, this home is one of the oldest in the seaside town of Lockeport.

The full bathroom, laundry, and office that can serve as a 9th bedroom, are all conveniently located on the main floor, offering the option for single-level living. A single-car garage with an attached storage shed has potential for converting into a two-car bay. Whether you're dreaming of a bed-and-breakfast, duplex, a family retreat, or simply restoring this historic gem, the possibilities are endless. Situated on a quiet street, within walking distance to shops, restaurants, schools, amenities, and white sand beaches, including the famous Crescent Beach, Col Locke's Beach, and Freddy's Beach.
