Perched on 4.3 acres in the historic Dutch Loyalist and Acadian village of Tusket, the Abraham Lent House is the oldest surviving house, which also once served as the early Customs Office. With extraordinary views up and down the Tusket River, this point-of-land boasts 780 feet of water frontage showcasing the incredible 15 foot tides of the Tusket at the Narrows. This is where stunning sunsets open the night for some of the best stargazing in North America. The house exudes ”timeless” with its symmetrical 3 bay facade and off centre door that faces the river, a majestic lion door knocker on a double dutch door with transom, crown moldings, chair rails, wood floors, brass doorknobs, cozy brick fireplaces, wood beams, a boat porthole in the ceiling, and a stained glass door.
