Welcome to Goodnow House!
Nestled in the woods with unequaled views of Tatamagouche Bay, Goodnow House is a unique home offering seaside recreation to couples, families and groups of friends. It is a haven for indivduals wishing to enjoy privacy and quiet space to write, reflect and relax. Just off the scenic Sunrise Trail (Route 6), our house is only a 5 minute drive from the shops and services of the farming and former shipbuilding community of Tatamagouche Village and as little as 45 minutes from larger centers like Truro, Amherst, and Pictou. The provincial capital city of Halifax is ~2 hours drive, passing the Halifax Stanfield International Airport after ~90 minutes.
The Specifics
Our cedar home has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and upper and lower wrap-around decks that provide generous views. The design of Goodnow House is unusual as it offers 10 skylights, two social areas (Great Room and Family Room), and private space for individuals to think or work (Reading Room, Bedroom/Office and Master Suite Office). The floors are an artistic blend of ash, cherry, and artisan laid ceramic tile with radiant (underfloor) heating. The house can accomodate 10 people very comfortably, but maintains a cozy feel for one or two. The upper and lower levels are designed to be used independently as each has bedrooms, a full kitchen and bathroom.
