Nestled on the serene, sheltered waters of Whynacht?s Cove, this artisan retreat has been meticulously redesigned by the architect owner of TEAL Architects. This 2-bedroom haven exudes simple contemporary European charm with its smart, efficient use of space in one- level living. Situated on just over half an acre with 215 feet of waterfront, it offers breathtaking sunsets from the spacious primary bedroom with corner windows or the completely private 500sq.ft. back deck with long water views. The kitchen is an entertainer?s dream, featuring an 11?x4? solid slab island with ample storage on both sides. The living room boasts a new highly efficient propane fireplace integrated with an open-concept shelving unit for displaying your books and treasures. The walk-in closet, which includes laundry facilities, is adjacent to the bathroom, which features slate floors with in-floor heating. You?ll find extensive storage with pull-out shelves in the minimalist closets, cleverly hidden from view. Recent upgrades include a 200-amp panel, a new LED lighting system, a corrugated metal roof, a radon mitigation system, a generator, two new mini-splits, and a fully insulated floor among other enhancements. The basement offers a workshop and storage, including space for kayaks, or a small boat and/or one car. Previous owners have moored their boat at a buoy in the Cove and there's opportunity to add a jetty. Located minutes from The Crossroads area of Tantallon, this location offers convenient access to shops, restaurants, and the scenic Rails to Trails. Known for its schools and vibrant community, this area is also a short drive from stunning beaches, Peggy?s Cove and various hiking trails. Plus, it?s only 25 minutes to downtown Halifax, allowing you to work in the city while enjoying a peaceful retreat called 'home'! (id:47421)
