This custom designed architectural gem, built by Barry Taylor features cathedral ceilings with skylights, resonating spacious light filled living areas. A well-positioned open concept main floor layout with oversized oceanside windows provides panoramic views of glistening waters from the kitchen, dining and living room. A clear sight line across the mouth of St. Margaret’s Bay peeks past Sou’west Island to Peggy’s Cove lighthouse. The living room features a double-sided propane fireplace with old wood beam mantels decorated with sea glass inserts. Through the bespoke eight-foot-high wood barn door is the adjoining ocean side primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and walk in closet. A convenient sliding door access point to the deck with a gazebo style covered lookout ensures plenty of outdoor enjoyment.
The lower level with on grade walkout provides another dynamic waterfront setting through well positioned windows facing southeast. The layout features two bedrooms, and a den featuring an energy efficient wood stove fitted with a catalytic convertor for heat recycling. An additional laundry storage room, refreshment island and oversized/heated/wired garage with a workspace make living so organized and comfortable.
Thoughtful attention has been given to the landscaping as well with gardens and multiple viewing/seating areas, including a fire pit. A pebble pathway down to the waterfront area which in some seasons produces sandy beachfront.
The property mechanicals are well thought out and worth mentioning; HRV, heat pump/air conditioning, three remote ceiling fans, back up remote link generator, and heated tile flooring in the bathrooms. The propane fuels the stove, double fireplace, and generator. High end materials such as Caesarstone quartz on the kitchen and vanity countertops as well as hardwood beech flooring throughout really raise the bar in terms of aesthetic.
Perched on 1.8 acres of land, this home has 3080 square feet of living space including the garage and utility room. Built in 2020, the level drive in from the main road onto a rock supported foundation with great elevation. The shoreline dynamic is unlike any other with over 150 feet of frontage and adjacent serene pond to the south.
A short stroll from the property is the entrance to twenty-five acres of protected common lands at the end of “The Pointe”, a stunning panoramic seascape of crashing waves and rocky outcroppings. Additional common lands surround Northwest Cove Lake with swimming and a community dock. Less than an hour to Halifax, 25 minutes to Chester and 15 minutes from Hubbards. Ride your bike to the Hubbard’s Farmers market for fresh local produce, or to enjoy the popular white sands of Bayswater Beach. This private community is in a location exempt from the foreign buyers ban.
