About this home

Welcome to this exceptional southwest-facing waterfront home on approximately two private acres along beautiful Porter's Lake. From the moment you step inside, you'll be captivated by the dramatic two-storey wall of windows showcasing breathtaking lake views and filling the home with natural light. Spectacular sunsets become part of everyday living, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the main level. Designed for entertaining, the spacious sunroom offers the perfect place to gather with family and friends while enjoying panoramic water views. The well-appointed kitchen features a large island, generous dining space, and an open layout that naturally flows toward the waterfront. The lower level offers excellent potential for additional living and entertaining space, with room for a family room, wet bar, or guest retreat. Outside, the property truly shines. Enjoy direct waterfront access on tidal Porter's Lake, with an improved shoreline featuring added rock and beach. Launch your kayak or paddleboard from your own property, or take advantage of the existing dock, which could be repositioned to accommodate larger boats. The expansive grounds provide endless opportunities for outdoor living, with plenty of space for a fire pit, hot tub, gardens, or play areas. Wildlife, including deer, geese, partridge, and even the occasional seal, add to the natural beauty. Recent updates include new decks, upgraded heat pumps, serviced septic, updated water system, and new appliances, offering peace of mind for years to come. Ideally located just minutes from Lawrencetown Beach, local cafés, and everyday amenities, this property also offers reliable high-speed connectivity for remote work. Whether you're searching for a year-round waterfront residence or a peaceful retreat designed for making lasting memories, this Porter's Lake gem is a rare opportunity.
