Description

Some homes are measured in square feet. This one is better measured in windows, water views and room to breathe. Tucked down a quiet laneway, 1480 Cow Bay Road is an executive bungalow offering the ease of true one-level living, more than 3,000 sq. ft. of finished space, three bedrooms, three full baths and an attached garage. Nearly 1.5 acres extend toward 392 feet of natural, marsh-edged frontage on Cow Bay Lake, creating a peaceful backdrop of water, wildlife and ever-changing skies, with the Atlantic visible beyond. The main level is bright, welcoming and designed for everyday comfort. Nine-foot ceilings, hardwood floors and oversized windows frame the view, while the open kitchen, dining and living areas make gathering easy. The kitchen features quartz countertops, a large peninsula, pantry and five-burner gas range, while the living room fireplace adds warmth on cooler evenings. Step onto the deck for morning coffee or simply a front-row seat to the scenery. All three bedrooms, two full baths and laundry are located on the main floor. The spacious primary suite enjoys beautiful water views, two walk-in closets and a generous ensuite with a soaker tub. Downstairs, the walkout lower level adds exceptional flexibility with a large family room, recreation and gym areas, a third full bath, two utility rooms and plenty of storage. The unfinished flooring also gives the next owner the opportunity to choose a finish that suits their style. Private without feeling remote, this is a home where the setting does the talking and the layout makes staying for years feel easy. Close to beaches, surf and trails, with Fisherman’s Cove, Hartlen Point Golf Course and the conveniences of Cole Harbour, Shearwater and Dartmouth all within easy reach. 1480 Cow Bay Road offers room to live, breathe and enjoy Cow Bay at its best.
