Welcome to this exceptional 5-bedroom, 3-bath character home where timeless craftsmanship meets relaxed coastal living. Set on a peaceful, private lot overlooking the shimmering waters of Frost Fish Cove on St. Margaret’s Bay, this home offers a rare blend of old-world charm and thoughtful modern updates. Step inside and feel the history in every detail—original wide-plank floors, hand-hewn timber beams, custom built-ins, and beautifully preserved hardware. The bright, eat-in kitchen was tastefully refreshed in 2020 with new cabinetry and countertops, maintaining the warmth and authenticity of a classic country kitchen. Vaulted ceilings and expansive windows fill the living spaces with natural light, while a wood-burning stone fireplace provides a cozy, inviting focal point. The home’s layout is designed for flexibility, offering distinct living areas ideal for hosting guests or giving children their own space to unwind. A walk-out basement adds even more potential for hobbies, storage, or future living and entertaining areas. Outdoors, take in sweeping ocean views, the serenity of the surrounding forest, and regular visits from local wildlife, including pheasants, deer, and fox. Just across the road, a small beach awaits - perfect for swimming, kayaking, and enjoying your deep-water mooring. This is more than a home - it’s a lifestyle offering the perfect blend of rural charm with urban convenience with a short drive to Tantallon for groceries, cafés and other amenities plus it’s only 35 minutes to downtown Halifax.
From Halifax take Exit 5 on Hwy 103, left on Hammonds Plains Road, right in St. Margaret's Bay Road, left on Peggy's Cove Road, Right on Indian Point Road.
