Purcell's Cove – Armdale, Herring Cove

18 Keefe Drive - If you are lucky enough to live by the sea, you are lucky enough! But if you are lucky enough to have this airy, refined house, with this 180 degree view of Halifax Harbour, with a great wharf, and your own beach…you are really lucky! I mean, there are ocean views from every room…and a four season sunroom overlooking the Arm, the Harbour, Point Pleasant, McNab’s Island to out past Lawlor’s. Whether it is watching the sailboat races, cruise ships coming and going, the traffic in our busy harbour, or enjoying a good storm, there is no better vantage point than here, except maybe one of the other two decks - ideal for outdoor living and entertaining. The house, freshly painted and restyled, is over 3,200 sq ft of ideal living space. The main floor captivates your imagination with high ceilings, huge living room passing into the sunroom with its glorious views, a dining area with big, bright windows capturing the horizon in the distance, into an enviable kitchen, laundry, pantry, and a built in garage for easy access to the home. No worries, there is a detached 24’ x 24’ double garage, wired and heated, for all the toys! The Primary suite is privately situated on one side of this floor with a walk-in closet and five piece bath…with a garden view. The 1500 sq.ft. lower level is smartly designed with large bedrooms on either end, a full bath, and a large entertaining space overlooking the garden to the wharf and beyond. It would be fun to install a galley, there is lots of room, so that all the sailors can come right up from the boat and settle in for some sustenance and tales of the day’s adventures. And all of this made as cozy as possible with hot water in-floor radiant heat throughout the house controlled by four multi-zone thermostats and enhanced by a ductless heat pump and backed up by a wired in Generac generator. There are many updates and upgrades...or you should just come and view this exceptional property.
