A 1950s-era cattle barn in rural Nova Scotia has undergone a thorough renovation to emerge as an expansive 4-bedroom, 4,000-square-foot home, on the market for $350,000.
Barn Conversion
Once a working barn built to house cattle, a top-to-bottom renovation eight years ago transformed the building into a three-level home with more than 4,000 square feet of living space.
