Property Description for 530 Highway 1

Looking for a unique home in a great community, close to Digby and Annapolis Royal? Smiths Cove has been a popular resort area for decades, a place people are drawn to for relaxation and recreation along the shores of the Annapolis Basin. Follow a long, paved, tree-lined driveway and arrive into a huge private yard surrounded by forest, to find this impressive custom built 2 storey log chalet and newer double garage with loft. Built on 2.81 acres in 2007 with massive logs, the home features expansive areas of outside decking (great for entertaining!) including a wrap-around veranda on the main level with a walkout from the primary bedroom, a balcony from the 2nd floor loft and balconies from each upstairs bedroom suite. The pine log interior exudes a sense of calm and permanence, with light entering from numerous windows and skylights, creating a warm glow. A large stone fireplace is the focal point anchoring the open plan living area, and the kitchen has a peninsula defining its space. The main floor is heated with an electric in-floor hot water system, and electric baseboards heat the upstairs. The main floor primary bedroom includes a large handmade pine log bed. Sliding doors access the veranda. At the end of the hall is a 4-piece with extra cabinetry and counter space. Also on the main floor is a side entrance into a mudroom with a stacked washer/dryer combo and the utility nook. The second floor features a big loft space with skylights that overlooks the living room. This would make a great family area, studio or media space, and features patio doors going out to a large balcony. Both bedrooms on the second floor have 3 piece ensuite baths and private decks. The 24 X 24 garage has ample space for vehicles and workshop, plus a large 2nd floor, perfect for a home gym, hobbies, or band practice! Located within walking distance to a public access beach and miles of walking and biking trails. This property and contents is being sold "as is" with no warranties. (id:38686)
