The Veranda room was added to the house in 1999 and provided the owners an opportunity to raise the level of FIVE STAR finish to a new and higher standard and to take advantage of the spectacular River, Harbour, and Bay of Fundy views. The room was added to the side of the house above a new large covered veranda and provided the opportunity to correct some architectural errors of past renovations. The exterior was closely tied into the house with the addition of period style brackets, trim pieces, post, stair and railing details.

The interior was finished with period trim work, doors, and lights salvaged by Ralph from other local buildings. The random width painted pine floor recalls an older style found in the mid 1800's when the house was built and nicely shows off the hand made Persian rugs.

Set in a very bold color scheme the furnishings revolve around an impressive English Walnut bed with heavily carved head and footboard dating from mid 1800's. It is complemented by a locally made cupboard. The walls are decorated with a number of steel engravings taken from 1860's an 70's newspapers and show the laying of the first trans-Atlantic Cable and several sailing boats of the day. The Veranda room is finished with a comfortable sitting area ideal for taking in the views or catching up on the days events on the large flat screen TV. As with each room at the Homeport there is a four piece bath, individual climate control and a well lit work desk with private phone, wireless internet.  A DVD and selection of movies are available in house.
