Cross Passage House

Cross Passage House is an award-winning architect-designed interpretation of a traditional Cape House in Lunenburg’s UNESCO Heritage District. It combines contemporary approaches to light, openness, and sustainability within a historic context. The house includes an open plan kitchen/dining/living area, upstairs and downstairs bedrooms, a large loft space, and a library opening out to a secluded shaded garden. The space Cross Passage House is set in the midst of 250-year old Old Town Lunenburg. The plan is informed by studies of 17th Century English “Cross-Passage” houses in which the living and animals’ quarters are under the same roof, divided by a passage crossing front to back, with a focal hearth element and a loft over. In this case private living quarters are included on one side of the main floor, with living/dining/kitchen space wrapping similarly around a central core. This beautifully designed 3 bedroom home offers 1 bedroom on the main floor with a double bed, as well as a full bath and laundry. The bonus library is a lovely sun filled retreat with a chaise longue and views of a secluded rear/south garden. The modern open kitchen is open to living areas and includes lots of storage and amenities, including a full pantry. The dining table is spacious and is conveniently appointed with 8 chairs, with additional chairs available. On the second floor, you'll find a large loft area that has 2 twin beds, an additional twin loft bed with a 4th twin bed below. This large Loft Room offers plenty of floor space to bring an air mattress for additional sleeping, or to create a play space if you're traveling with kids. Another bedroom on this floor with a double bed, and a second full bathroom is also located on this floor. Take a 5 minute stroll along the historic streets of the Old Town to restaurants, shops, the fisheries museum, stunning views, and all that the waterfront has to offer. I have created some guidebooks for Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Chester. You can access these in the traveler app. Feel free to have a look :) Guest access Entire house and grounds Other things to note The pellet stove in the living room is decorative only.
