58 Water Street
  Georgetown

(VIDEO)This PEI Waterfront Property enjoys an excellent location on Georgetown Harbour, only 40 mins. east of Charlottetown & 15 minutes to the Wood Island Ferry. This quiet seaside town invites you to view the spacious features of this historic home; the panoramic views from 3 levels; and 2 new decks, looking on to expansive green lawns extending to beachfront and 280 of surveyed water frontage. The home, and extended property to shoreline, occupy 2 parts of the parcel, each with its own legal description. The historic setting can take one's imagination back in time to the European voyages of discovery. These were part of Mi'kmaq lands, first explored by the French in the 16th Century, claimed in 1604, & subsequently, to be taken in 1758 by the English in the Seven Years' War. The Town's location was chosen for its military and commercial advantages, enjoying a large and deep natural harbour with 3 rivers providing easy access to the interior. The Town Plan was laid down by English Army Engineers & some of the original defensive gun positions can still be discovered in their strategic positions along both sides of the harbour approaches. With the harbour's direct year-round access to the Atlantic trade routes then developing from the mother country to its fledging 13 colonies and the busy Caribbean Ports to the south, Georgetown was expected to become the commercial center for the new island colony of Prince Edward. Your property fronts on 2 main streets & includes a detached double garage; the extra land and waterfront, located conveniently between 2 commercial wharves, adds value with exciting development options for the future. The home itself includes an attached shop/studio space & suggesting creative possibilities for the new owner. The home's renovations have included new electrical wiring & 200A, plumbing and roofing upgrades, new oil tank and extensive painting to interior and exterior. (id:30594)
