55 Lintlops Road, Murphy Cove, NS B0J 3H0

First seen in Sweden, this Scandinavian design house has been built to exacting standards by the present owner. No expense was spared in obtaining the top-notch products to construct this executive home. Polytech tilt and turn windows throughout, sustainable Birch and slate from Vermont and Nova Scotia for flooring, warmed with in floor heating and a woodstove, Eastern white pine siding, and cedar shingles on the exterior reflect the quality present throughout this home. Thoughtful design allows natural light to brighten this house at all times of the day and is apparent in the creative and comfortable flow from one room to another. Built for two people with room for guests, Tidesreach reflects a seaside lifestyle's care, concern, and understated elegance. With all their creature comforts met, the owners added whimsy to their home, with a window so that you can watch the sea from your bath, a Butler's pantry that includes the laundry with a chute from the upper floor, a wine cellar to enjoy a good vintage, and a porthole in your front door. The orientation on the 6.6-acre lot was chosen with passive solar heating in mind and a view over their 500 feet of oceanfront. If it is needed there is a generator wired to the house.The property also reflects the character of its creator with a large, astrologically correct Armillary Sphere, a school of folk art fish swimming through a sea of ferns, and a spectacular sea cottage, designed and built by the owner with his knowledge and love of the sea top of mind. A glass copula, jute trim, suspended wrought iron chandelier, and a cozy wood stove, all nestled onto the rocky shoreline and privately tucked from the view of the house make this little piece of heaven spectacular.
