Perfect for history buffs!

Imagine living in a piece of history. That's what's on offer in one Nova Scotia house for sale. On top of owning a house that's over a century old, you get an amazing central tower to show off.

The Ellory Scott House, located at 7 Main Street in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia has an eye-catching exterior. It looks like a building more suited to being a shipping museum or historical site.

However, this is actually a home that you can purchase right now for $209,900. With four bedrooms and over 2,700 square feet of living space, it's got plenty of space to offer.

Before stepping inside, you can take in the gorgeous views of the Bay of Fundy from the front step.

You can get an even better view from the central tower of the house, which looks out over the water.

The interior of the house has a majorly classic vibe to it, which makes sense, seeing as how it was built all the way back in 1884. 

Solid wood floors, exposed brick, and wood stoves can be found throughout the home. The kitchen even features an old-school refrigerator.

The upper level is where you'll find the four bedrooms plus a study and two full bathrooms. Each bedroom even comes with its own fireplace.

Further up, the top of the tower is completed with a sitting room that even allows access to the widow's walk at the peak. You might not be waiting for ships to come sailing home, but you can still get some breathtaking views.

This would make the perfect home for a history buff, or anyone who has a love for classical architecture.
