Overview
Description
Where Grand Lake meets grand living: Terrace House. This masterfully engineered waterfront estate offers 185 feet of private shoreline and over 10,000 SF of contemporary light-filled living. The design is inspired by a simple vision: a home that hosts the whole family with ease, yet feels warm and intimate when it's just you. Three thoughtfully planned wings (main, guest, and entertaining) allow the home to open wide for grand gatherings or close in for cozy everyday living. At its heart, a terraced great room soars with double-height ceilings, exposed white-oak timber, a massive stone fireplace, and a 20-foot curtain wall of glass framing breathtaking lake views. The chef's kitchen impresses with a 12-foot island, premium JennAir appliances, walk-in pantry, and a concealed butler's kitchen for effortless entertaining. Retreat to the fully private primary suite with a double-sided fireplace, spa ensuite with a NativeStone soaking tub, and serene lake vistas. Upstairs, an architectural catwalk links three ensuite bedrooms, while the guest loft above the heated triple garage offers a bedroom, custom bunks, kitchenette, and full bath - ideal for visitors or multigenerational living. The walkout lower level is pure enjoyment: cocktail bar, glass-enclosed wine room, home theater, gym, and a hidden room sized for an arcade or golf simulator. Every element is engineer-approved and built to institutional standards with ICF construction, 10-zone climate control, radiant in-floor heat, Control4 automation, and an automatic backup generator. Outside, tiered landscaping and solar-lit trails lead to the fire pit, lakeside pergola, and private dock. All just minutes from Fall River amenities and the International Airport, and 30 minutes to downtown Halifax. Terrace House isn't simply a residence; it's a lifestyle ready for its next chapter.
