Custom built and lovingly owned by the same family for nearly 30 years, this home is ready for its next chapter. Set high on almost 25,000 sq. ft. of land plus an additional neighbouring lot (a rare and valuable opportunity for future potential), this property offers both space and possibility. Upstairs, you'll find four comfortable bedrooms, including a primary with ensuite, plus a full family bath. The finished lower level is an entertainer's dream featuring a fifth bedroom, a fantastic at-home bar, walk-in wine cellar, an AV-ready home theatre setup, and a walkout to the backyard. It's the perfect mix of fun, function, and flexibility. The main level balances everyday living with spaces made for entertaining: a formal living and dining room, a spacious kitchen, and a cozy family room. Best of all, the sunroom opens up to breathtaking views over the mouth of Halifax Harbour from Point Pleasant Park to the open sea, you'll love watching ships sail by from your own private perch. Just minutes to the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron and downtown Halifax, you'll enjoy the peace and privacy of country-like living without giving up convenience. After decades of thoughtful care, this one-of-a-kind property is ready to welcome its new owner.
