Description
Set back from the coastline of Portuguese Cove, 761 Ketch Harbour Road offers sweeping Atlantic Ocean views and a lifestyle defined by space, light, and calm. From the covered front porch, watch cruise ships en route to Halifax, container vessels along the shipping lanes, and sailboats crossing open water - the horizon becomes part of your everyday backdrop. A private entry introduces a thoughtfully designed main level. The neutral kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a generous pantry, and ample prep space, flowing seamlessly into the open-concept living and dining areas. Expansive windows maximize natural light and frame the surrounding seascape, creating effortless flow for both daily living and entertaining. Two southern exposure bedrooms are privately positioned off the main living space, including the primary with walk-in closet. A beautifully finished main bath serves this wing with clean, modern finishes. A wide hallway leads to a versatile flex space ideal for a home-based business, executive office, or guest suite. With its own exterior entrance, ductless heating and cooling, and kitchenette plumbing already roughed in, it offers exceptional flexibility and future potential. The mudroom is both functional and refined, complete with a custom bench and leads into the oversized laundry room with abundant storage and space. The lower level includes a spacious rec room with walkout, an additional bedroom, a striking bathroom with walk-in shower, and a dedicated utility room. Built 11 years ago and meticulously maintained, the home reflects quality construction throughout. A double detached garage with epoxy flooring adds premium storage and workshop flexibility, while the landscaped lot offers curb appeal without heavy upkeep. Minutes from beaches and coastal trails, yet within easy reach of city amenities, this is elevated coastal living without compromise.
