197 Main Street is a charming character home with an expansive yard backing onto the Kentville Rail Trail. Situated within walking distance to shopping, restaurants and trails, and just a short drive to the highway, this home offers a wonderful combination of convenience, character and space. Enter through the new front porch or through the back door into the convenient mudroom. The kitchen and dining spaces are open concept and work beautifully for entertaining. The large and bright living room features a cozy wood insert, while a set of French doors leads to a sunroom with custom bookcases - ideal for a library, record room, or both. Upstairs offers three bedrooms and a full bath, plus a tucked-away fourth room that would make the perfect home office. The basement was renovated in 2022 to provide a spacious rec room along with a large storage/art space. Outside, the generous backyard offers plenty of room to enjoy, with direct access to the trail and a shed for garden tools, outdoor equipment or hobbies. With a little TLC, this home offers a wonderful opportunity to make it your own while preserving the character and charm that make it so special.
