Breathtaking and elevated vistas with spectacular sunrises over the sparkling waters of Mahone Bay. This stately home is warm and inviting with generous spaces designed for both privacy and for gatherings. Nestled on a hilltop, three levels of living space capture incredible views from this Cape Cod home. So many opportunities are within reach here - keep it as a cherished family estate, offset your costs and rent the lower in-law suite or run it as a Bed & Breakfast. The great room impresses with custom details like the 2-storey vaulted ceilings with beautiful crown moldings, wood burning fireplace, and tall windows that bring in vast ocean and island views. From here step outside to a wrap-around veranda – the perfect spot to take in the elevated views and fresh ocean air. Complete privacy can be enjoyed by everyone with four spacious bedrooms, each complimented by full ensuite bathrooms. There is also an open space kitchen with a dining area and separate formal dining room, providing plenty of versatile space. The lower level is home to a completely separate in-law suite, with a well appointed kitchen and full bathroom (both newly renovated) and separate entrance out to a covered patio, and hot tub with a deck facing the water. The paver stone driveway, landscaped grassy lawns and well-kept perennials surrounding the property enhance the curb appeal and charm. There is no need to own waterfront here with Graves Island just a short stroll away where a public boat launch, many beaches and swimming areas, extensive seaside walking trails and plenty of nature awaits. Ample exterior storage is available with the detached garage and shed, both with charming board & batten wood siding. Located a stone’s throw from Graves Island Provincial Park, 3 minutes to the Village of Chester for all amenities and an easy 40 minute drive to Halifax.
Highway 3 to Graves Island Road, second property on the left.
