Overview

Step back in time at Kent Lodge, Wolfville's oldest home, originally built in 1775 on an earlier Acadian foundation. This New England Colonial-style residence blends remarkable history with essential updates from a 1980's renovation, including electrical and plumbing. Inside, a galley kitchen, multiple fireplaces, and a charming Keeping Room with bread oven showcase authentic character, while wide plank softwood floors and classic six-over-six windows preserve its 18th-century appeal. Five bedrooms and three full bathrooms include a main-level full bath, a rare convenience in a home of this era. The formal dining room and parlour complete the main floor. Set on a 19,600 sq.ft., R3 zoned lot with mature gardens, the property enjoys ample road frontage on both Main Street and Cherry Lane. With thoughtful attention, the grounds could once again reveal winding paths through diverse plantings, complemented by an old well and a rustic shed, creating a serene and historically rich outdoor retreat.
