'HOUSE & GARDEN' -- A delightful home surrounded by colourful gardens in full bloom...like the cover of that famous magazine! Cradled by nature at the crest of a private hilltop & completely hidden from passers-by, this special setting is a paradise for privacy seekers & gardeners. The home's thoughtful design achieves a timeless country cottage aesthetic, with light-filled living & dining areas flowing seamlessly to the outdoors through French doors, extending the living & entertaining space in summer. The wrap-around deck is shaded by a wisteria covered pergola on the side of the house, and at the front, steps take you down to a flagstone patio surrounded by perennial beds bursting w/ colour. A cozy den/bedroom affords the opportunity for main-level living with a full bath & laundry also on the main floor. Upstairs are 2 beautiful bedrooms & a full bath. The finished lower level w/ walkout provides additional space for family room, home office, or guest accommodation. The classic styling of this home also comes with a nod to comfort, energy efficiency & environmental sensibility, w/ a solar-assisted propane hydronic heating system providing in-floor radiant heat & 2 mini-split heat pumps reducing your annual energy cost. The 3.6+ acre lot includes natural woodland nicely integrated w/ professionally landscaped areas around the house. Stroll along meandering garden paths shaded by flowering shrubs teeming with fragrant blossoms & providing shade from the summer sun. A circular drive loops in a large garage & handy garden shed, & a cozy studio/bunkie building is tucked into the woods at the rear. But it's the private setting & quality of construction that sets this magical property apart, not to mention the great location. A perfect 'Hide-away' need not be 'Far away'...when you feel the need to venture from your picture-perfect 'House & Garden', you'll be happy that you're just 2 mins to downtown Lunenburg with all its fabulous shops, galleries, restaurants, & more.
Take Hwy-3 (Lighthouse Route) to Lunenburg. Just before Lunenburg town limits, turn left onto Second Peninsula Rd. Driveway for civic #11 is the second on your left.
