It’s a 14-min drive to historic Lunenburg, the UNESCO World Heritage Site with restaurants and shopping, and only a 1.5-hour drive to the Halifax International Airport. How perfect! This newly built 4-bedroom home overlooks Lower Rose Bay with spectacular ocean views from the second story deck that wraps around three sides of the house. The deck is equipped with a BBQ, tables, chairs, for outdoor dining and lounging. The house has beds to comfortably sleep nine. The second story of the Ocean House hosts the main entrance and is completely wheelchair accessible. The open concept kitchen, dining area, and living room are situated under a lofty wooden cathedral ceiling. Two doors open out onto the deck. The living room has a pullout sofa bed that sleeps two and a wood stove. The master bedroom is located on this floor with a queen-size bed and wooden cathedral ceiling. The spacious, full bathroom on this level is completely wheelchair accessible with a tub and shower combo. The lower level has two outside doors and offers the second and third bedroom, each with a queen-size bed, dresser, closet, and sitting area. The fourth bedroom doubles as a den, with a bunk bed (single over double) and a sofa that pulls out into a double bed. The den also offers a large-screen smart TV with a Netflix subscription, Blu-Ray and DVD player (a collection of movies on Blu-Ray and DVD is included) and a quality library, puzzles, games, kids’ toys, dolls, and books. There is a full bathroom on the lower level with a soaker tub and shower combo, as well as a spacious cedar-lined sauna measuring 13 ft by 6 ft with dry electric heat. At high tide you can go for a swim in the ocean, zip back into the sauna shower for a rinse and into the sauna for a warm-up. The washer and drier are located on the ground floor. For those who love to cook, the kitchen is fully equipped. Household appliances include: full fridge, microwave, electric stove and two ovens, dishwasher, kettle and coffee maker, and much more. Upstairs heating is through heat exchangers and baseboard heaters. Downstairs is warmed by in-floor heating of a polished cement floor controlled by thermostats in four quadrants. The house is new and well insulated to code. Well water is high quality, delicious, and run through a water treatment system to remove excess iron. The septic system requires standard care to keep in good working order. Utilities that need to be covered by the tenant are only electricity and internet.
