On the best part of Halifax’s peninsula, this property is a short stroll to Point Pleasant Park and minutes to the city’s core. Sitting on 2/3 of an acre, which includes 150 X 75-foot water lot, a private wharf is perfectly positioned for oceanfront activity. It features seventy-five feet of shoreline on the Halifax side of the coveted Northwest Arm. The positioning is perfect. It is directly across from the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron. Built in 2007, the home has almost 5000 square feet of living space on three levels plus an attached two + bay garage. Special mention needs to be noted for the second-floor deck hot tub off the primary bedroom. With the western exposure, it is a high-priority indulgence on sunset evenings. There is no better place to wind down after a busy day.
Noteworthy features are the stunning engineered hardwood flooring gracing both the main and second floors. Also, cathedral beadboard panelled ceilings in the primary bedroom give a truly grand feel to the highest water view space.
There are so many great attributes on the main level. No expense was spared in the chef’s kitchen. Featuring a 60-inch WOLF gas range with six burners, a grill, and double oven. A soapstone counter graces the kitchen island with a recessed Viking warming drawer. There are copious amounts of storage in the built-in kitchen cabinetry, and the adjacent breakfast bar, breakfast nook and formal dining room gives multiple options. From the kitchen to the family room, to the multi levelled deck, transitions to appreciate the outdoors have been executed perfectly. A grand wood burning fireplace in the family room and a propane fireplace insert in the living room create alternate (aesthetically pleasing) heat sources. Speaking of heating, there is in floor radiant with a Steffes Thermal Storage unit and a heat pump/air conditioning unit in the primary bedroom (as well as another propane fireplace insert).
Upstairs, the primary bedroom layout is well adorned for a luxurious lifestyle. His and hers walk in closets, a multi-faceted ensuite that is so spacious, you might think you are at the spa. An additional bedroom and bathroom complete this floor. Thanks to the sloping grade, the lower level is bright with views of the Northwest Arm. The recreation room has a grand woodburning fireplace with beach stone hearth and access to a covered waterfront patio. A wine cellar, laundry room, four bedrooms, a Jack & Jill and three-piece bathroom are conveniently at hand.
In total, there are six bedrooms with an opportunity for an additional with a conversion of the den/office space. The super-sized two bay garage is helpful for workroom space potential, and a massive storage area on the main floor provides additional convenience.
