Thoughtfully updated while preserving its warm, inviting feel, this property offers not only timeless appeal, but also modern efficiency - with upgrades that have made it an energy-efficient home, keeping heating and cooling costs comfortably low. Surrounded by open sky, you'll enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that fill the home with natural light, while clear nights reveal a stunning canopy of stars and constellations - an everyday reminder of the beauty of country living. Step inside to a practical mudroom that sets the tone for a relaxed rural lifestyle, leading into a spacious eat-in custom kitchen complete with a striking wood-topped island - perfect for gathering, baking, and everyday living. The main level continues with a full bathroom featuring a tub, a dedicated laundry room, a bright office space, and a cozy living room anchored by a woodstove that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers its own private ensuite powder room, while two additional bedrooms and a generous storage closet provide flexibility for family, guests, or hobbies. Patio doors lead to a large back deck - an ideal spot for morning coffee as the sun rises, evening barbecues as it sets, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings. With just over two acres, there's plenty of room to garden, explore, or even create your own hobby farm - imagine collecting fresh eggs each day and truly embracing the rural lifestyle. Located just 3 minutes from a municipal park with a beautiful sandy beach on Big Mush-a-Mush Lake, outdoor enjoyment is always within reach. Commuters will appreciate being only 11 minutes to Exit 12 off Highway 103, just over an hour to Halifax, and within easy reach - 15 minutes - to Mahone Bay and Bridgewater.
