4647 East Bay Highway, Ben Eoin, NS, B1J 1N6

Informations sur la propriété

4647 East Bay Highway is the kind of property that is difficult to reproduce. Set against sweeping Bras d’Or Lakes views, this approximately 4,000 sq. ft., two-storey ICF home combines architectural character, energy efficiency, flexibility and a strong connection to the land. The bright, open main level positions the kitchen, dining and living areas to capture the view. A newly completed oversized solid-wood island with matching stools complements locally milled hemlock timbers and distinctive live-edge details, much of the wood coming directly from the property. A live-edge door leads to the primary bedroom with ensuite and walk-in closet. A second bedroom, another finished bath with live-edge cabinetry and laundry complete the level. The upper front deck features glass railings that preserve the expansive views. The lower walkout level closely mirrors the main floor with its own kitchen, living area, bedrooms and bathroom, offering excellent flexibility for extended family, guests, rental income or short-term accommodation. Movie screen and projector included. Built for efficiency, the home features ICF construction, a 70-amp solar system designed toward net-zero performance, in-floor heating, heat pump, fireplace, wood stove, air exchanger, generator panel, and Polytech hurricane-rated windows and doors. The detached garage has double entry/exit access and an engineered loft. The driveway includes approximately 400 ft. of paved surface plus a circular gravel section. The partially cleared, landscaped and heavily treed property includes hardwood bush, stream, pond, bridge, waterfall, fish pond and established landscaping. Approximately 3 minutes from the East Bay Trail system and 15 minutes from Sydney River, with beach, golf, marina, ski hill and place of worship nearby. Scale, craftsmanship, efficiency, income flexibility and remarkable Bras d’Or views make this property truly distinctive.
