278 Cindy Drive

Some homes you visit. This one you arrive at: down a quiet cul-de-sac in Grand Lake along the Fall River Corridor, up a drive framed by a sweeping front lawn, onto 4.6 acres wrapped in mature trees, with views toward Grand Lake and not a neighbour in sight. From the covered front porch, step into a soaring open-to-above 18' foyer and nearly 4,000 sq ft of light-filled living space with 9' ceilings on every level. Days here gather around the great room, where a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace and custom built-ins invite everyone to stay a little longer, while the formal dining room waits patiently for the holidays.

The chef's kitchen was designed for how families actually live: an oversized quartz island, walk-in pantry, and enough prep space to keep the cook at the centre of every conversation. But the heart of this property is out back: a huge rear deck with sight lines that seem to go on forever, a screened-in retreat where morning coffee stretches into a second cup and summer evenings refuse to end, and stairs leading down to acreage that is entirely, privately yours.

The upper level is where this home truly delivers for families: four full bedrooms and a complete laundry room all on one floor, no hauling baskets up and down stairs, anchored by a primary suite you've been dreaming about, with a walk-in closet and spa-inspired ensuite featuring a double vanity, soaker tub, separate shower, and in-floor heating for cold Nova Scotia mornings. The walkout lower level writes its own chapter: a spacious rec room, fifth bedroom, and full bath, ideal for teens, guests, or multigenerational living.

The heated triple-car garage with soaring high ceilings swallows vehicles, toys, and workshop dreams with room to spare, while a fully ducted heat pump and automatic whole-house generator quietly take care of the rest. Fall River amenities, Oakfield Golf & Country Club, and Laurie Park are minutes away, with the airport and Downtown Halifax an easy drive. (232867966)
