Overview
Description
Some homes pull you in, slow you down, and make you forget you ever needed to be anywhere else, and this beautifully rebuilt oceanview home on Big Tancook Island does exactly that. Taken right down to the studs in 2020 and essentially born again, this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home comes fully furnished and ready for the life you’ve been imagining. Nearly every element was replaced, including insulation, wiring, plumbing, drywall, windows, doors, flooring, decks, kitchen, bathrooms, appliances, and a metal roof. At the heart of the home is a bright kitchen with generous counter space, a double oven for the serious cook, pull out lower cabinet drawers for effortless access, and a large pantry to keep everything beautifully organized. The private deck off the primary bedroom may just become your favourite place on earth. With a hot tub overlooking Southeast Cove, it’s the kind of spot where morning coffee turns into an hour and sunsets never last long enough. Downstairs, a lower level bedroom currently used as a home office offers its own quiet retreat. The unfinished portion of the basement provides excellent storage and future potential for additional living space. Year round comfort comes courtesy of an efficient heat pump and cozy wood stove. Outside, two versatile outbuildings offer endless possibilities for a workshop, studio, or additional guest space. Step across the road and you’ll find your own oceanfront parcel on Southeast Cove Beach. Launch a kayak, hunt for sea glass, or simply sit by the shore as the tide rolls in. Life on Big Tancook Island moves at its own pace, and this thoughtfully rebuilt home offers a rare opportunity to step into that lifestyle from day one. Fully furnished, meticulously updated, and paired with ocean frontage, this is more than a property, it’s an invitation to live differently. Adding to the island’s long term appeal, construction is currently underway on a new 18-car ferry connecting Blandford and Big Tancook Island.
