232 Alexandra Avenue is a 3 bedroom plus den/sunroom, 3-bathroom detached home on a private, tree-lined double lot in an established neighbourhood of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. Very close by is Woodland Gardens Park, 24 acres of nature trails, duck pond, playground and outdoor pool beside the DesBrisay Museum. Downtown Bridgewater is minutes away, and Mahone Bay, Lunenburg, Chester and the South Shore's white-sand beaches are all within about 20 to 30 minutes. Privacy, space and convenience rarely come together in one property, but that is exactly what you'll find here. Set on a beautiful double lot at the quiet end of one of Bridgewater's most sought-after residential streets, this distinctive home is surrounded by mature trees, established gardens and green space, yet sits just minutes from downtown, South Shore Regional Hospital, schools and the King Street shopping district. INSIDE: WARMTH, CHARACTER AND ROOM TO LIVE Step inside and the home immediately feels welcoming. At its heart is a spacious custom kitchen with a cathedral ceiling and exposed beams, built around a large island - the natural gathering place for family dinners and entertaining friends. A bright sunroom, a separate formal living room with wood fireplace and several flexible living spaces give you room to relax, work from home or welcome overnight guests. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, the layout works for growing families, multi-generational living and buyers relocating from the city alike. The primary bedroom has its own ensuite OUTSIDE: A BACKYARD THAT FEELS LIKE A RETREAT The backyard may be the property's biggest surprise. Fully private and framed by mature trees, it offers established flower and vegetable gardens and plenty of open lawn to garden, play, entertain or simply enjoy the quiet. A south-facing deck is the perfect spot for morning coffee, summer dinners and long, sunny afternoons. A detached garage adds parking, storage and workshop potential, while the recently improved lower level - now with subflooring and a finished ceiling - is ready to become a home gym, hobby room, workshop or generous storage. SOLID BONES, THOUGHTFUL UPDATES The home was extensively renovated in 2014, including electrical, plumbing, attic and wall insulation, a new roof and new windows, and it is heated efficiently with heat pumps. Landscaped grounds, a covered porch and decorative exterior lighting complete the picture. THE LOCATION: EVERYTHING THE SOUTH SHORE OFFERS, FROM A TRUE IN-TOWN ADDRESS Alexandra Avenue is one of Bridgewater's established, tree-lined neighbourhoods, and this property sits very near the Woodland Gardens Park - 24 acres of nature trails, a duck pond, playground, picnic areas and the town's outdoor swimming pool, with the DesBrisay Museum right next door. Schools are within walking distance and the property is on the town bus route. Bridgewater is the largest town on Nova Scotia's South Shore and the region's service hub, so daily life is easy: South Shore Regional Hospital, the Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre, NSCC Lunenburg Campus, the Bridgewater Mall and Eastside Plaza, a year-round farmers' market, craft breweries and riverside restaurants along King Street and the LaHave River, and the 8-km Centennial Trail that runs through the centre of town. From here, the South Shore is your backyard: Mahone Bay and Lunenburg (UNESCO World Heritage Site) about 20 to 25 minutes; Rissers Beach and Crescent Beach about 20 to 25 minutes; Chester about 30 minutes; downtown Halifax about 1 hour; Halifax Stanfield International Airport about 1 hour 15 minutes. For buyers leaving the city without giving up convenience, or for anyone dreaming of a home base from which to enjoy everything Nova Scotia's South Shore has to offer, 232 Alexandra Avenue delivers something increasingly hard to find: a substantial, updated home, a private double lot, mature gardens and an exceptional location - all within the Town of Bridgewater.
