Presenting a rare opportunity to own this distinguished Halifax residence on the Northwest Arm, ideally positioned on one of “south ends” most admired streets a block from Point Pleasant’s 195-acre park. Built in 2018, this 10,467 square foot Philip Mitchell Design bespoke residence has exceptional grace and distinction, with meticulous detail and architectural integrity. Set on a picturesque one-acre lot with one hundred and twenty feet of ocean frontage, the terraced grade allows for multiple slate patios and an expansive lawn with a fenced in dog run. Exterior gas lighting creates an intimate evening ambiance for barbecue dining. The Brunswick Limestone and cedar shingle estate is cited to take in sweeping water views. Featuring double hung custom windows by Dynamic (eastern white cedar), cedar roof shingles, copper roof gables and multiple chimneys for eleven wood burning fireplaces. The interiors boast Montana reclaimed flooring planks throughout. The variety of species from old barns accentuates the classic materials used. Various fireplace mantle pieces and the staircase hand carved railing showcases the detail of work. A vast collection of high-end lighting fixtures were thoughtfully chosen to compliment each space. Often a focal point in maritime culture is the kitchen, as is evident with the wood island counter and Ann Morris pot hanger setting the stage. Custom Bellini cabinetry, distressed subway tile backsplash, marble countertops and Waterworks fixtures including a brass pot filler showcase impeccable taste. An AGA stove anchors the space, with multiple panelled Sub Zero fridges, freezer drawers, Miele dishwashers and farm sinks at the ready. The adjacent pantry/servery features WOLF gas cooktop and two ovens. The breakfast nook and living room face west towards the ocean with extraordinary views of the Northwest Arm and the Royal Yacht Squadron.
