Welcome to this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom ocean-view home in Portuguese Cove, where stunning water views can be enjoyed from both the main and upper levels while watching marine traffic enter and exit Halifax Harbour. Located just minutes from Halifax yet surrounded by rugged coastline and fresh ocean air, this property offers the perfect balance of peaceful coastal living and city convenience. Outdoor living shines with spacious wrap-around decking on the main level plus an additional private deck off the primary bedroom, both upgraded with sleek glass panel and aluminum rail systems designed to maximize the incredible views. Inside, the home features quality finishes throughout, including slate floors, African teak flooring, and premium European windows. Recent upgrades provide exceptional value and peace of mind, including a metal roof installed in 2018 with a transferable 40-year material warranty, extensive pressure-treated deck improvements, cedar shakes added to both sheds, and a wired main shed for added functionality. Additionally, a full septic system replacement is currently scheduled with permits and engineering already completed, representing a $24,000 upgrade for the next owner. The location is equally impressive, with a playground and tennis court nearby, plus close proximity to Duncan’s Cove trails, Ketch Harbour Community Hall, Herring Cove Community Centre, and other local amenities. Grocery stores, shopping, fitness centres in Spryfield, and Crystal Crescent Beach are all just a short 10-minute drive away. Don’t miss your opportunity to enjoy coastal living at its finest.
