380 Oakland Rd, Lunenburg, NS B0J 2E0

The front verandah of this custom home faces east, and the kitchen and seasonal sunroom face the setting sun. With its carefully considered design, this open concept home has panoramic, "big ocean views" over the waters of greater Mahone Bay. Open concept living in the main living area takes full advantage of the elevated perspective over islands highlighted by dancing sunlight. The sunroom, consisting of 190 sq. ft in addition to the 1,500 sq. ft of the house, provides a sunny oasis to sit a spell with friends. Access to the mudroom from a 560 sq. ft garage, lends protection before entering the kitchen and a place to remove footwear and hang the hat. The kitchen, ideal for entertaining and family conversation while preparing a meal, and the large dining-living room, with glass doors opening to the verandah, are perfect to host a crowd. The library "L", with gas fireplace, is just the spot for a good book, to watch tv, or simply lean back and gaze across the ocean. The owners' suite has direct access to the covered verandah and houses both a private bath and two walk-in closets. A guest room with Murphy Bed, in the opposite wing of the house, is adjacent to the family bath and affords maximum privacy when hosting overnight stays. A Generac generator affords peace of mind. An unfinished, fully insulated basement (consisting of a high ceiling and additional 1,500 sq ft of usable work space) is a prime candidate for further development. The living-space, sunroom, garage and basement total 3,700 sq. ft. of usable space. Across the road from the home, this purchase includes a private land parcel - with a boathouse and dock - allowing for excellent summer recreation and the possibility of mooring a boat. Mere walking distance to "Rails To Trails"; Less than 5 minutes to the town of Mahone Bay; an hour to Halifax or the international airport; this quiet enclave in Indian Point offers the very best of the "East Coast Lifestyle" for which Nova Scotia's South Shore is famous.
