Some homes check the boxes. Others just have a feeling to them. This wonderfully renovated 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is full of natural light, character, thoughtful updates and the kind of details that make a home memorable. Inside, European vinyl casement windows, black granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, updated bathrooms and heat pumps on two levels bring modern comfort and functionality, while skylights fill the home with natural light. Throughout, unique architectural details add warmth and personality, creating spaces that feel anything but ordinary. And then there’s the backyard. A huge back deck, hot tub and expansive tree-lined yard create your own private escape, whether it’s coffee outside in the morning, friends over for dinner, or a quiet evening under the stars. There’s plenty of room to enjoy, plus a 20' x 30' basketball pad and a large detached garage that adds even more flexibility. But what really sets this property apart is the opportunity. The informal basement apartment is currently owner-occupied, while the upper two levels have been successfully operated as an Airbnb, earning approximately $350 per night with 5-star reviews. Live in the whole home. Offset your costs. Create space for family. Continue the income potential. There are so many ways to make this property work for the way you want to live. And the location brings it all together. Just 15 minutes from Peggy’s Cove, 30 minutes from Halifax and within easy reach of the South Shore, you can have space, privacy and a little more room to breathe without giving up connection to the city. Over 2700 square feet. Four bedrooms. Three bathrooms. A beautiful property, a flexible layout and possibilities that go well beyond the front door. Some homes make sense on paper. This one makes even more sense when you’re standing inside it.
From the 102 Highway take exit 5 towards Upper Tantallon. Turn right onto the #3 highway and then left onto the Peggys Cove Road
