1125 1st St, Canning, NS B0P 1H0

Tucked into a vibrant Miyawaki-inspired forest and re-wilding garden, this charming corner-lot home offers a rare blend of village convenience and natural beauty. The lush, fast-growing mix of flowering plants and fruit trees creates a private, ever-changing landscape, all within walking distance of Canning's shops and services. The house showcases timeless cedar shake siding and wood floors throughout—warm pine on the main level and elegant maple upstairs. The property includes an extra R3 lot (57' x 125') with frontage on North Avenue—perfect for future development or expanded gardens. Inside, recent upgrades to this 1882 home include fresh interior and exterior paint, a relocated heat pump, many new appliances, and a fully renovated downstairs bathroom. A new garden door invites sunlight and easy access to the outdoors, while the battery back-up sump pump, partial new roof, and new sewer lateral add peace of mind. Cozy evenings are made even warmer with the woodstove. This property offers the best of small-town living with space to grow—both inside and out.
