About this home

An extraordinary oceanfront retreat where custom craftsmanship and an unmatched waterfront lifestyle come together. Just 6 years old and nestled along the shores of Herring Cove, this custom-designed home offers over 3,800 sq ft of living space with ocean views, soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and exceptional natural light throughout. Situated on a protected deep-water inlet, with deep water anchorage, this rare waterfront property offers direct ocean access while benefiting from the calm waters and shelter of the cove. The custom 2-storey boathouse offers 648 sq ft and is complemented by a marine-grade hemlock wharf and floating dock. Inside, the main level was designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The great room showcases 18-foot cathedral ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone propane fireplace, and beautiful ocean views. The kitchen features floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large centre island, double wall ovens, a full-size double refrigerator, pantry, and premium finishes. Open-concept living spaces flow to the covered composite deck overlooking the water. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers stunning ocean views, a spa-inspired ensuite, a spacious walk-in closet and separate laundry. Glass railings overlook the great room below, while an additional upper-level flex space and expansive den is ideal as a family room, office, or guest retreat. The walkout lower level adds incredible versatility with a fully equipped two-bedroom secondary suite featuring its own kitchen, living area, laundry, full bathroom, and private entrance, ideal for multi-generational living, extended family, or income potential. Built with comfort and efficiency in mind, with premium triple-glazed windows, custom window coverings, and an energy-efficient ducted heat pump.
