This East Coast modern masterpiece known by locals as "The Glass House" hosts awe inspiring views from its uniquely designed perch in the heart of Halibut Bay. Your perfectly private 2 acre oceanfront oasis a mere 20-minute drive from downtown Halifax beckons for those looking to live in extraordinary circumstances. Step into stunning views and sleek design. From the understated but captivating entrance to the unparalleled views of the bold ocean frontage, lush forests, and stunning sunrises that call 20 Ashley home. The open-concept main level seamlessly blends the outdoors with contemporary elegance, featuring a show-stopping kitchen with a 15-foot waterfall island, spacious butler's pantry, high-end appliances, and a captivating view of the Halifax shipping lanes. The living room impresses with both a double height window wall to frame those views and the opposing two story wood-burning fireplace which anchors the space with its beckoning presence. Also, on the main floor a generous sunken living room with cozy propane fireplace large enough to accommodate a pool table, baby grand piano or easily converted back to a formal dining room for those who like to entertain. Up the custom open tread staircase which itself feels like an art installation is the impressive primary suite with its open air sitting area, custom walk-in closet, a luxurious ensuite and of course jaw dropping ocean views. No detail was overlooked in the recent lower level renovation which delivers two bedrooms, two full baths with custom tile showers (one with ensuite), family room and of course access to the decks and the great outdoors. This property is just as captivating outside where a natural stream creates a picturesque waterfall and a delightful swimming hole along the southwest side of the property. Now is your chance to own this rare architecturally rich property that perfectly blends modern living with the quintessential rugged beauty of the Nova Scotia coast.
