About this home

Set on a rare 1.2-acre point along Purcells Cove Road, this 2019 residence was designed around the water. A low stone entry court opens into a two-storey great room where a 30-foot glass wall frames the Northwest Arm and the sailboats crossing it.

The kitchen is finished in rift white oak and honed Nova Scotia granite, with a butler's pantry, integrated appliances, and a 14-foot island that seats seven. A glazed dining pavilion steps down to a sheltered terrace with an outdoor fireplace.

The primary suite occupies its own wing: a private balcony, dressing room, and a spa bath with a soaking tub set into the window. Four further bedrooms, each with an ensuite, sit on the upper level and in the guest wing above the garage.

The lower level opens directly to the lawn and includes a wine room, gym, sauna, and a boathouse-style lounge. A permitted deep-water dock and marine railway complete the property.

The neighbourhood

Purcells Cove is Halifax's quiet waterfront edge — ten minutes to downtown, five to the Armdale Yacht Club, and steps from the Purcells Cove Backlands trail network. The Sir Sandford Fleming Park boardwalk and Dingle Tower are a short walk along the shore.
