Here is the affordable oceanfront cottage you've been looking for! Close to the historic town of Pictou and tucked away on a private road, 55 Seacrest Drive offers 200 feet of direct beachfront on the Northumberland Shore. This cherished character cottage has been in the same family since the 1950’s and is now being offered for sale for the first time. Cottage has 3-bedrooms + 4th bedroom in detached bunkie. This all-season bungalow has been well maintained over the years, with numerous upgrades: modern wiring and breaker panel, hardwood floors, heat pump, vinyl windows, tongue-n-groove walls & ceiling, newer roof - PLUS recent additions of an open-concept wired bunkie (also with tongue-n-groove interior) and a detached, wired garage. Three parcels are included in this sale (PIDs 00811489, 65224115 & 65224123). The two vacant lots flank the cottage property, providing a buffer of privacy and an opportunity for additional secondary suites or bunkies. The viewing deck previously held stairs down to the beach and remains in good shape and the shoreline has been partially armoured to mitigate erosion. Adding more rock armouring and new stairs would be a worthwhile investment. The sandy beach out front is well known for its warm waters - perfect for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking or beachcombing. When the tide is out, you can walk for miles in either direction! Seacrest Drive is a private, well-maintained, all-season dead-end road that's just mins away from the quaint town of Pictou with all the amenities you need: grocery, liquor, hardware, restaurants, marina. Over the past two years, Pictou has undergone dramatic improvements, including the newly updated deCoste Theatre, library and waterfront upgrades, earning it the nickname "Mini Lunenburg." Come discover what this seaside community has to offer, and turn this oceanfront property into your family's new getaway destination! This is an estate sale - offers due by 6pm July 28, to be left open until 6pm July 30.
