Overview
Description
The best part of your day might just be coming home. Set on a private 4.57-acre lot with views over Grand Lake, 278 Cindy Drive is minutes from Fall River, Halifax Stanfield International Airport, and a short commute to Downtown Halifax. Nearly 4,000 sq ft of beautifully crafted living space delivers 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and the rare blend of country quiet with full city access. Crisp blue-gray siding, stacked-stone accents, a covered front porch, and the heated, triple-car garage make a striking first impression. Step through the double-height entryway into a home filled with natural light and airy 9' ceilings. The open-concept chef's kitchen features warm-wood shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, a classic subway-tile backsplash, black stainless appliances, an oversized island, and a walk-in pantry. The great room centres on a floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace with built-in shelving against a deep-navy accent wall. Then comes the best part: stepping outside. The screened-in deck feels like a hidden woodland escape — the kind of spot that makes morning coffee taste better and summer evenings harder to leave behind. The sprawling rear deck and patio open up to entertaining, BBQs, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. Upstairs, the primary suite is tucked away with a walk-in closet and spa-inspired ensuite: double vanity, separate shower, soaker tub, and in-floor heating for cold Nova Scotia mornings. Additional bedrooms flex for growing families, guests, or work-from-home setups, and the upstairs laundry brings functionality where you need it most. The lower level extends the home's versatility with a spacious rec room, additional bedroom, full bath, and generous ceilings - easy to imagine as a home gym, guest suite, or multigenerational space. Laurie Park, Oakfield Golf & Country Club, Fall River, Enfield, Halifax, Dartmouth, CFB Shearwater, and the airport are all within easy reach. BONUS: $15,000 landscaping allowance on closing!
