Description
In the storied village of Herring Cove, where life has always turned on the tides, 65 Shore Rd is a tasteful nod to the houses that once lined the working harbour. Inside pegged hardwood floors, wainscotting, exposed beams, and a wood-burning beach-stone fireplace, are set against a light-filled double height main floor addition built for watching the quotidian routine of the harbour. On serene mornings, the cove goes completely still, and the far shore lays itself out on the water like a second little village. The bright, white kitchen and its butcher-block island open easily to the dining room: a layout made for long dinners and easy company. Upstairs feels like a small, elegant inn — somewhere to retreat from the world. Three bedrooms and a main-floor den leave room for family, guests, or home office and the partially finished lower level only adds to the living space. Outside, the deck reaches toward perennial gardens and your own deep-water anchorage, wharf, and float, ready for whatever you sail. Then there's the life around 65 Shore Rd: walk to the breakwater to watch a storm roll in, or down to Pavia for coffee and conversation. Coastal living on a quaint cove only 15 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Downtown Halifax. Come see it for yourself.
