The Iconic Grand Dame of Mahone Bay- A Dreamscape of Possibility. Welcome to 558 Main Street, an iconic grand dame of Mahone Bay where historic elegance, coastal charm, and modern comfort converge. Proudly positioned in the very heart of this beloved seaside town, just steps from the waterfront, shops, galleries, and cafés, this beautifully maintained Victorian is more than a home, it’s a lifestyle and a legacy. Currently known as the Mahone Bay Bed & Breakfast, the property offers a proven and graceful hospitality experience with four spacious guest suites, each complete with a private ensuite. Soaring ceilings, warm hardwood floors, intricate woodwork, and timeless architectural details create an atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming, an experience guests return for again and again. For the owner, a private main-level apartment provides a peaceful retreat, seamlessly blending comfort and practicality while remaining connected to the home’s charm. Outside, lush gardens, a classic wraparound veranda, and intimate outdoor spaces invite slow mornings, golden-hour gatherings, and moments of quiet reflection. Yet, should your dream lean less toward hosting and more toward living, this grand residence transitions beautifully into a stunning single-family home, one that fits effortlessly into Mahone Bay’s storybook dreamscape. Imagine generous living spaces, room for family and friends, and the rare privilege of owning one of the town’s most recognizable and admired homes. With modern updates throughout, including an attached garage, EV charger, and ample parking, this property honours its past while embracing contemporary living. Whether you envision continuing its celebrated B&B legacy or claiming it as your own private coastal sanctuary, 558 Main Street offers a rare and romantic opportunity to live your dream, your way, in one of Nova Scotia’s most enchanting communities.
