Nestled on a secluded 1.5-acre lot in Indian Harbour, this inviting home with a detached double garage blends historic charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Originally one of the area’s first dwellings, it has been carefully expanded and renovated to offer both character and comfort. Set in a serene location with incredible wildlife views — from deer and birds to the occasional bobcat or bear. Step inside to a renovated kitchen featuring heated floors and an oversized window that frames the natural surroundings like living artwork. The sun-drenched atrium is a perfect retreat year-round. The ensuite’s soaker tub is perfect to enjoy natural scenery and wildlife. Dining area has been upgraded with oak flooring and an updated fireplace. Outdoors, a rustic summer bunkhouse offers potential for a creative fix-up, while numerous fruit trees, along with wisteria, and grape vines, make the property a true delight. This home boasts a long list of improvements: roof(2021), septic(2020), hot water tank, LG heat pump with 3 heads and a generator. The double garage has a new door, reshingled roof and storage space on lower level. Set on a private 1.5-acre parcel in Indian Harbour and close to trails, beaches, and Peggy’s Cove, this property combines history, modern comfort, and a serene lifestyle in one inviting package.
