41 Bells Cove Extension, Dublin Shore, NS B0R 1C0

Property Description

This treasure is Bells Cove. Tucked away amongst the South Shore's many kept secrets, this lovingly restored 3 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath Cape rests timeless, overlooking the sea against a pebble-beach and the ever-changing waters to the horizon. From sunrise to sunset, panoramic views stretch across the mouth of the LaHave River toward Kingsburg. This coastal backdrop is nothing short of remarkable. Upon one's arrival, there is an unmistakable sense that this is a special place. Upon entering, a simple mudroom-laundry area with powder room takes care of one's practical needs. The open-concept living-dining room, with its sea views, exudes warmth and historic character. Of note are original exposed beams, wide plank wood floors, and a beautifully restored brick fireplace that now cradles a cozy wood stove. Large patio doors open onto an expansive ocean-view deck where the sights and sounds of the Atlantic fuse with everyday living. This sympathetic restoration has preserved the home's rich history while seamlessly incorporating modern comforts. An updated kitchen, spacious office and den, and inviting gathering spaces, create a home that is as functional as it is beautiful. Upstairs, the original staircase leads to three bedrooms in the eaves, including a sun-filled room with skylights and a primary suite perfectly positioned to take advantage of the elevated views over the ocean. An inviting sitting alcove above the main entrance offers a reflective place to imagine the generations that surely watched for the boats' return to safe harbour. An old fish shack offers endless possibilities as a Bunkie, artist's studio, or creative retreat, while the larger boathouse across from the beach provides storage for recreational equipment. There are numerous sand beaches within 5 mins and the celebrated villages of Petite Rivière and the LaHave Islands, the LaHave Bakery and ferry, 20 min to Lunenburg and 90 mins to Halifax.
