Completed in 2023, this dramatic re-invention of an existing barn has been a project of spectacular design and purpose. The integration of the original 19th-century post-and-beam barn materials has been incorporated within a modern structure with care and precision. It is such an impressive contrast that you will be at a loss whether to take in the wide-reaching southeasterly views down Mahone Bay to the open ocean or admire the towering interiors of this architectural work of art. Spanning 6.31 acres across two lots, the siting atop a knoll provides a unique setting for the reconstruction project. Halifax architect Nicholas Fudge and Lunenburg builders Edwards and Quarrie executed a custom home with high-end finishes and durable construction. The natural setting coexists perfectly with the modern architecture in this location. This residence is just shy of 4,000 square feet of interior living space: 2,731 square feet on two floors plus a 1,250-square-foot lower level (which is essentially completed without the interior design component) and a 300-square-foot garage. The main floor has an awe-inspiring cathedral ceiling soaring 26 feet to its peak. The space encompasses the kitchen, dining and living rooms with a streamlined hallway containing closets, a powder room, and a laundry area setting the stage for a minimalist design aesthetic. A combination of shiplap exposed reclaimed timbers and new custom-finished beams creates a coastal feel of unprecedented beauty. On the south end, the primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom provides privacy, while upstairs an additional full bathroom, two bedrooms and a den with the best ocean view in the house offer even more convenience. An unfinished lower-level recreation room with a walkout, a fourth bedroom, and an ensuite bathroom complete the home. The grade allows for ocean views from this level too. Many features are present including wood flooring throughout, a full house heat pump and AC...
