Nestled on a hilltop with breathtaking elevated views and spectacular sunrises over Graves Island and the Atlantic ocean, this stately home has a beautiful curb appeal that is sure to impress. Enjoy generous spaces designed for both privacy and for gatherings over three levels with picturesque vistas. So many opportunities are within reach here - keep it as a cherished family estate, offset your costs and rent the lower in-law suite or run it as a Bed & Breakfast. Complete privacy can be enjoyed by everyone with three spacious bedrooms complemented by full ensuite bathrooms, including a primary bedroom on the main level and a fourth bedroom in the lower level suite. The great room has 2-storey vaulted ceilings with beautiful crown moldings, and tall windows that bring in vast ocean and island views, and a wood burning fireplace. Step outside onto the wrap-around veranda – the perfect spot to take in the elevated views and fresh ocean air. The lower level is home to a completely self-sufficient in-law suite with a large kitchen and a newly renovated bathroom. A separate lower level walkout leads out to a covered patio with a hot tub facing the ocean and overlooking lush grassy fields. Graves Island Provincial Park is a short stroll away where you have access to a public boat launch, beaches and swimming areas, extensive seaside walking trails and more. Ample exterior storage is available with the detached garage and shed, both with charming board & batten wood siding. Located 3 minutes to the Village of Chester for all amenities and an easy 40 minute drive to Halifax.
