Description
SALT AIR & SEAGRASS – Follow a peaceful shoreline road toward little known Oxners Beach and discover this tastefully renovated century home. The immaculately maintained home has enjoyed extensive updates over the years, including a full height poured concrete basement w/ walkout. The country kitchen is open to a generous dining room w/ woodstove. The dining area flows seamlessly through the front door to the covered veranda...sit a while and take in the ever-changing wildlife show on the salt marsh, a birders' paradise! A sunroom features in-floor heat, skylights & a wall of windows to bring the outdoors in, plus French doors to an expansive deck where you can sit under an ancient apple tree, or step down onto the stone patio. A large back ell features a sunny mudroom w/ built-in cupboards, plus laundry & full bath. Upstairs features an interesting suite encompassing the entire front half of the 2nd floor and is comprised of 3 distinct spaces: sleeping quarters, a comfy tv room, & a dormer reading nook that offers the perfect vantage point to keep watch over the little bridge and the occasional car on its way to the quiet beach at the end of the road. Two additional bedrooms & a beautiful 4-piece bath complete the upper level. Outside, the gently sloped grounds are thoughtfully landscaped blending the wild with the manicured, the natural with the cultivated, where ancient apple trees mingle with mature shrubs & colourful perennials. There's a delightful little greenhouse and a sturdy woodshed, but best of all is the little Bunkie/studio which provides the perfect respite for artists, extra family, or hosting garden parties. The versatile back yard will amuse gardeners, kids and pets alike, but everyone will also enjoy quiet Oxners Beach, just a 5 min stroll down the winding road. Rural but not remote -- it's just a 20 min scenic drive to Lunenburg and 25 to Bridgewater. Closer to home is the charming Rose Bay General Store & Bistro. A special place to call home!
