Welcome to this peaceful waterfront retreat that offers the best of both worlds with nature at your doorstep and city convenience just minutes away. Set on over half an acre with approximately 140 feet of lake frontage, this five-level side split looks out across the water to the protected Blue Mountain Birch Cove Lakes Wilderness Area. With no backyard neighbours except for the trees and local wildlife, it feels like a world away while still being close to everything. Inside, the home is warm, spacious, and thoughtfully updated. The main level features a formal dining room with hardwood floors and a large country-style kitchen with Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances, and patio doors leading to a private, tree-lined backyard. A bright home office offers space for remote work with a view. Upstairs, you'll find a sunny living room currently also used as a gym, three generous bedrooms, and a newly added primary ensuite with double sinks, a freestanding tub, and a beautiful glass and tile shower. The main bathroom has also been updated with a modern touch. On the lower level, a cozy family room with a woodstove, bar, and patio doors is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The basement features a one-bedroom secondary suite, ideal for extended family, guests, or potential income. Just across the road, you’ll find the BLT Trail and a public transit stop, making it easy to enjoy outdoor adventures or commute to downtown Halifax. This home offers space to grow, places to unwind, and a setting that invites you to slow down and truly feel at home.
