Property Description
This elegant modern eco-house on the Northwest Arm between the Yacht Squadron and Purcell?s Cove is only a 20-minute drive, bike ride, or boat trip to downtown Halifax. This spectacular home was built by two architects as their primary residence in 2008. The open-concept living area on the ground floor has 16? ceilings and stunning views from every direction, with outdoor decks to enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks. Its ocean-facing garden features a stone pier on Crown land with 150 feet of waterfrontage including deep-water anchorage. Panoramic views of Point Pleasant Park make you feel like you?re on the South Shore ? watching morning sculling, weekly regattas, and distant cruise ships in the Fall. Three floors of living space stack in a compact footprint, offering ocean views at every level. The main floor has a mudroom to shed your gear, leading into an open kitchen-dining-living zone lined with floor-to-ceiling windows and patio doors. A European wood stove adds cosiness on winter days. Built-in cabinets and shelving provide storage galore and display for books or art, and a gorgeous 3 piece bath is tucked in on this level. An open staircase leads to the second level bedroom and a spacious mezzanine flex space (office, spare bedroom, exercise, anyone?) overlooking the living areas and ocean views. The top floor is divided into a spa-like bathing zone and a spacious master bedroom with built-in furniture and stunning views. This home has a natural feel ? surrounded by sky, water, and forest and warmed by the sun and its custom woodwork. Its ecological features will keep you comfortable in summer and winter: solar orientation, in-floor hydronic heating, top-of-the-line insulation, high-end windows, a rainwater-fed cistern, and a peat system septic. Parking for one car (with room for expansion), with bike lanes and municipal transit too. (id:24570)
