Overview
Description
This remarkable site, with the remains of the foundation of a small, historic power-station still grounded on its shoreline, is exceptional. Perched on an elevated point, surrounded on three sides by the waters of Pernette Cove and Brook, this exceptional three-bedroom oceanfront residence offers a rare combination of industrial-strength construction, classic 20th century design, and bird's-eye water views. Built by an industrial engineer of steel and concrete foundations, the home features a welcoming foyer with a private den/office and powder room, a dramatic two-story, double-sided fireplace anchoring the living and dining rooms, and a wall of doors opening to an expansive deck - ideal for entertaining. The kitchen, with separate pantry, leads to a year-round sunroom, wrapped in natural vistas of mature trees and river. The main level is completed by a large primary suite with ensuite for the convenience of one-floor living. The second level, with open loft/den overlooks the living room to one side and the broad, Lahave River to the other. Two additional, large bedrooms—one with wraparound views—and a full bath are also featured on the second level. The lowest level provides abundant storage and a spacious, dedicated workshop with garage-door access, while the attached garage and adjacent carport offer flexible potential for expansion into a possible in-law suite or recreation space. Thoughtfully designed landscaping enhances this remarkable waterfront setting, where the river and cove embrace the property on three sides. Ideally located—approximately 15 minutes to Bridgewater, 20 minutes to the beaches of Petite Rivière and the LaHave Islands, and 30 minutes to Lunenburg and Mahone Bay—this unique home presents a rare opportunity for those seeking distinctive architecture, robust construction, and an incomparable seaside lifestyle.
