Step into a piece of Prince Edward Island history at 11 School Street, Kensington. Believed to be one of the most unique homes in the province, this landmark property was famously moved across the ice from Malpeque to Kensington in March of 1941 by 22 teams of horses, becoming part of local folklore and a cherished piece of the town?s heritage. Now, for the first time ever, this historic home is being offered for sale on the public market. Combining timeless character with extensive modern upgrades, this exceptionally maintained property has benefited from significant investment over the past several years. Improvements include a complete electrical upgrade with removal of knob-and-tube wiring, garage rewiring, major plumbing upgrades with PEX lines throughout, fully renovated kitchen and bathrooms, new GE appliances, owned propane on-demand hot water system, metal roof, upgraded exterior insulation with Silverboard rigid foam and new siding, replacement second-level windows, blown-in insulation upgrades, owned water softener, and two heat pumps for efficient year-round comfort. A standby Generac generator provides added peace of mind. Situated on a beautiful in-town lot, the property also features an impressive detached three-bay garage with space for up to six vehicles, making it ideal for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, storage, or workshop use. Located in the heart of Kensington, one of PEI?s most desirable communities, you?ll enjoy walking distance to schools, parks, restaurants, shops, and local amenities while being just a short drive to beaches, golf courses, and Summerside. Rarely does a property offer such a compelling blend of history, character, modern efficiency, and exceptional garage space. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a truly iconic Kensington home. (id:2493)
