35 Shankel Road

Some homes have character, some have location—this one has both. Close to the cove in Hubbards, numerous sandy oceanfront beaches, and the legendary Shore Club with lobster suppers, live music and dancing, this character home is getting a beautiful new life. Thoughtfully renovated and modernized with quality finishes throughout, this impressive 3-bedroom, 3-full-bath home combines timeless charm with the comforts of today. A welcoming verandah overlooks raised garden beds filled with flowers and vegetables in season. Inside, the front foyer invites you to explore a beautiful new kitchen featuring white maple cabinetry, quartz countertops, a contrasting black island with apron sink, and brand-new appliances, including a propane range with chimney-style hood. A convenient walk-through pantry leads to the spacious new backyard deck, also accessible from the formal dining room through garden doors. The inviting front living room features a bay window and propane fireplace with a delightful tiled surround. A side office, conveniently located near a full bathroom, and a rear mudroom with laundry and utility areas provide additional functionality, offering access to the deck. Upstairs, the impressive primary suite features a walk-in closet and exceptional ensuite with tiled shower and towel warmer. The third full bathroom showcases a charming clawfoot tub with shower, while two additional bedrooms offer comfortable space and good closet storage. For the hobbyist or handy homeowner, the detached 20'4 x 18'5 workshop has its own separate driveway, while the 11'6 x 10'9 shed provides additional storage. The Fitzroy River winds through the back corner of the property, adding a lovely natural element. Hubbards is a wonderful community and a highly desirable place to call home, with the cove, sandy beaches and beloved Shore Club nearby, and Metro Halifax just a 30-minute drive away. Character, community and coastal living come together beautifully here.
