Welcome to Fortune Harbour and to the historic Gillespie House. Sitting close to the waters edge and steeped in the rich history of our Newfoundland Culture is this beautiful three bedroom, three and half bathroom home. Currently operating as a Vacation Rental, this property has potential galore. If you are looking for a home away from home, this is the perfect property for you. Spacious and meticulously maintained this place will make the ideal family getaway. Launch your boat from the wharf and spend the day exploring the beautiful waters of Notre Dame Bay, head to Twillingate or Lewisporte for the day, take in the beauty of Newfoundland's rugged coastline. If you do not want to wander that far, explore the many abandoned communities that were once thriving back in the day. When you arrive home after a long day on the water, prepare a special meal in the spacious kitchen and enjoy it around the table with family and friends while enjoying the breathtaking views from the large, yet cozy 'Glass Room". Enjoy the warm summer evenings hanging out on the deck, strike up a tune and maybe even dance a little jig or two. When it is time to retire for the evening head up stairs to one of the three spacious bedrooms - the Quirk Room, the Carey Room, or the Lyver Room, each one complete with its very own ensuite. If you are the one lucky enough to be in the Quirk room enjoy your morning coffee on your private balcony and enjoy the breathtaking water views. If you have always wanted to own and operate your very own Bed and Breakfast this is the perfect opportunity for you. With many repeat visitors your rooms will always be booked! This property also housed the Gillespie House Cafe and was always hopping with locals and tourists alike during the summer months. The potential is as endless as the story this property has to tell. Immerse yourself in the history of Fortune Harbour and the story of the Gillespie Family. (id:27476)
