This home is beautifully perched on a 3+ acre property and faces East for glorious sun and moon rises over the Atlantic Ocean, West for picturesque sunsets,  South for sparkling views of the Atlantic, South-West overlooks Gaetz Lake and the North view boasts a spectacular view of the forest and village.  It is located on the Seaforth Back Road, # 116, and is one of the few remaining "property jewels" of Seaforth.  All of these views can be enjoyed from the many panoramic windows or from either the large back east facing balcony or the 50' covered veranda.

Seaforth is a picturesque community within the Halifax Regional Municipality (www.halifax.ca) and can be found along the #207 Highway, on Nova Scotia's beautiful Eastern Shore.   The Trans Canada multi-purpose trail is accessible off the Seaforth Back Road, and offers over 12 km's of groomed trail use.  The bold Atlantic Ocean is virtually at your doorstep, and many access points to secluded beaches are nearby.  Surfing is a local sport, enjoyed all year round; seals 'pup' each spring at the point; and minke whales have been known to frequent the mouth of the Chezzetcook Inlet.

It is only minutes from Highway 107, approximately 40 minutes from downtown Halifax and a short drive to all the amenities, beaches, golf course, elementary & middle schools and the yacht club.   The grocery store (Atlantic SuperStore) is 8 kms away at the Porters Lake strip mall.
 

 
HORSE LOVERS DELIGHT:  The property, one of the last sprawling acreage lots in Seaforth (3.23 acres) has a large 3 - stall horse barn on the edge of the property.  The barn is approximately 26' x 32' and requires a bit of cosmetic fixing on the interior, but is solid, strong and water tight.  A brook runs alongside the barn, allowing for a fresh water supply with a hand pump.  The barn has a large storage loft that can be used for hay or extra feed storage.  There is a built in feed bin, along with a separate tack room.  The large, old style double barn doors open onto a paddock area (in need of new fencing) and there is an allocated space for a riding ring.  Horses live right next door, and at several other neighbouring properties.
The house is 50' x 28', was built in 1993 as a raised bungalow style, tongue and groove construction, 2 x 6 exterior walls, 10" foundation with 4 concrete wing walls supporting the overhang veranda.  Roof shingles have a 25 year warranty.  The home is heated by an oil furnace via hot water, base-board heaters.  Additionally, there is an Air-Tight Enterprise wood cook stove in the kitchen, complete with oven and warming closet.  It has proven to heat the upper level of the home quite comfortably.



 

The kitchen cabinetry, matches that which is in the bathroom, and is Select Maple (very clear grains).  And if one looks closely, the birds' eye can be seen in both the cabinetry and throughout select spots on the flooring.  The kitchen also boasts an island with its' own electrical outlet, a pantry, a "lazy Susan" cupboard, corner cabinet with decorative glass, and a large storage cabinet surrounding the refrigerator.  The cabinet doors have hidden hinges, and hand painted ceramic knobs.

The windows are all wood, and in excellent condition.  Each were tightly sealed, and remain so.  There are two bay windows, both facing East and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.  One is in the kitchen / dining area, and the other is in the Master Bedroom.  Both can accommodate an additional area space, and adds a nice dimension to each room.  All widows are single hung vertical sliders, which open inwards for easy cleaning.

The views are simply stunning - one can see at least 19 nautical miles east along the coast of the Eastern Shore and view the Jeddore Rock Lighthouse!  At night, both the Jeddore Rock lighthouse and the Clam Harbour light can be seen.



Large bay window in the kitchen / dining area... faces east for fabulous views of the Atlantic Ocean.  Wonderful views of both moon and sunrises.

All three entry doors are steel, with the two upstairs containing decorative glass work.

The main floor area of the kitchen, dining room, living room and hallways have solid maple hardwood flooring with a clear satin finish, thus adding a natural light to the home.

The bedrooms are carpeted and each contain large closets with the master bathroom having a large walk-in closet.  That master bedroom also has a large bay window which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and faces east for fabulous moon and sun rises.  The main bath has ceramic tile flooring.  The tub surround and the corner shower unit has the same ceramic tile for a clean & consistent look.

The front hallway showcases a double set of French doors, also with hand painted ceramic door handles, and opens into a large living room. 

The living room faces South overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, South-West overlooking Gaetz Lake, West looking directly to the Halifax skyline (one can see the Halifax New Years fireworks from here too!) and North over the woodland and surrounding village.
