Rarely does an income property offer this level of quality, flexibility, and waterfront appeal. Just 6 years old and nestled along the shores of Herring Cove, this custom-designed oceanfront property offers over 3,800 sq ft of living space, including a fully equipped two-bedroom secondary suite with its own kitchen, living area, laundry, full bathroom, chair lift and private entrance. Situated on a protected deep-water inlet with deep-water anchorage, this unique property combines owner-occupant appeal with income potential. The custom two-storey boathouse offers 648 sq ft of flexible space and is complemented by a marine-grade hemlock wharf and floating dock, coffering with direct ocean access. The main residence features 18-foot cathedral ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone propane fireplace, expansive windows, and breathtaking ocean views. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large centre island, double wall ovens, a full-size double refrigerator, pantry, and premium finishes. Open-concept living spaces flow to the covered composite deck overlooking the water. Upstairs, the primary suite offers ocean views, a spa-inspired ensuite, spacious walk-in closet, and dedicated laundry. An additional upper-level flex space and expansive den provide added versatility for a home office, another bedroom or family living. Built with efficiency in mind, the home features premium triple-glazed windows, custom window coverings, and an energy-efficient ducted heat pump system. Located just minutes from the Armdale Rotary, Dingle Park, the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, excellent schools, scenic hiking trails, and approximately 20 minutes from Downtown Halifax, this is a rare opportunity to own a newer oceanfront property with built-in income potential in one of Halifax's most sought-after coastal communities.
