South Shore living at its very best! South facing, 5 bedroom, 2.5 bath home on 1.7 acres overlooking Maders Cove, just minutes from the seaside community of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. The spacious home features large windows, bright rooms, 3 ductless heat pumps, ETS storage units for reduced heating costs, 2 wood burning stoves/fireplaces, generator panel and plenty of storage. The partially developed basement with large above grade windows has the bonus of a great workshop/craft room and wonderful rec room/library. The split level home is the perfect home for a growing family with kids or generational living. In fact, the school bus stops right across the road! The lush, south facing property would lend itself perfectly to solar panels, adding to the efficiency of the home. The property is bordered by a babbling brook, forrest with curated walking trail, lush but low maintenance gardens and a fenced in area for growing veggies. The thoughtful layout has allowed for a generous but shaded patio for enjoying those hot weather days, a deck immediately off the kitchen and a sunny front deck to watch the comings and goings of Maders Cove. A short stroll down Maders Cove Road will take you to Westhavers Beach to gather sea glass or swim with the kids and walk the dogs. Or bike or drive the few minutes up the road to Mahone bay and enjoy the shops and restaurants, grocery and pharmacy, dentist and doctor's offices, gym, tennis courts, community pool, community centre and so much more. Bayview Community School in Mahone Bay and South Shore Waldorf School in Blockhouse are both excellent choices for the kids. The Town of Mahone Bay is a vibrant community offering amenities for all ages. Both the Mahone Bay Marina and the Lunenburg Yacht Club are within easy driving or biking distance for those lazy days on the water. Just 10 minutes to Lunenburg, 20 minutes to Chester and 50 minutes to Halifax, this special property is conveniently located for any need and adventure.
