Some properties check boxes. This one tells a story. Set on 6 private acres at 1053 Cornwall Rd in Mahone Bay/Upper New Cornwall, this thoughtfully built home sits at the centre of its lot welcomed by a crabapple tree out front, surrounded by mixed woodland including sugar maples, backed by a trail system, and bordered by a Christmas tree farm on one side. A small stream runs through the back of the property, and a long winding driveway sets the tone before you even reach the door. The main level features open-concept kitchen, living, and dining with pantry, three well-sized bedrooms with closets, and a primary suite with tiered storage closet, walk-through closet, and air jet ensuite. A second full bathroom has a walk-in shower. Dedicated laundry room completes the level. The lower level surprises: large rec room, den, workshop, half bath roughed in for a shower, and notably wiring and plumbing already in place for a second kitchen. Secondary suite or in-law potential. Walkout access and exposed ceilings give it character rather than a basement feel. Comfort year-round: two heat pumps, wood burning stove, and in-floor radiant heating. Engineered hardwood, ceramic tile, and concrete flooring throughout. 400-amp service. Outside: fenced yard off the back door for pets, a wooden bridge over the stream, trail system access for walking, dog walking, and off-roading. Two sheds one for ATV/side-by-side storage, one for wood and garden. Log swing set included. Partially cleared, partially wooded. Plenty of parking. Development potential. Five minutes to Blockhouse. Less than ten to Mahone Bay. The convenience of town, without the town. (id:2493)
