Property Description:

Offered at: $895,000 CDN

Sitting on the shores of the beautiful Chamcook Lake, less than 15 minutes from historic St. Andrews, this four bedroom, four bath River Bend Log home is a glorious year-round, private retreat. Chamcook Lake is a clear, pristine body of water, which supplies St. Andrews with its source of drinking water and at four kilometers long, is one of the largest lakes in the area. A long dock juts far out into the lake and on-shore joins the home’s deep wrap-around veranda. The large gravel parking area slopes down to a small sandy beach adjacent to the house, making this the perfect launching place for kayaks and canoe. At one end of the parking area is a 18 X 12 boat house/garage, made in the same log construction and metal roof as the house.

From the moment you mount the stairs to the deep, covered veranda, you know this five year-old home is something special. The veranda which wraps around two sides and the front of the cottage, offers shade and cool breezes from the lake at all times during the day. It is also, the perfect entertainment venue with double French doors leading both from the living and dining rooms allowing for easy flow in and out of the house. Inside, these doors , as well as the wide expanse of windows on the side and front of the house, all bring the stunning views of the lake inside.

The inside is as organic as the glorious outside world. A soaring multi-toned stone fireplace, slate, wood and ceramic floors, natural pine boards which grace the living/dining room walls and climb the cathedral ceilings and granite counter tops, make this home both texturally alive and high-end comfortable. The spacious entryway with its slate floor, double closets and cottage-style painted tongue and groove walls is both welcoming and convenient. From here you can walk straight through to the hall and then to the bedrooms, or turn towards the light and the truly beautiful Great room which houses both the living and dining rooms. Richly hued wood floors gleam and furniture groupings welcome.

The kitchen, opens to the Great room, is high-end with quality stainless steel built-in appliances, a prep and double sinks, cook top stove, granite counter tops, eating island and custom-built cabinetry. This, like every other room in the house enjoys views of the lake. Down the hall are two large Master bedrooms with ensuite baths; one with a large walk-in and the other with two large closets. One of the ensuite baths has an elegant oval soaker tub as well as a stand-alone shower. Also on this level is a large linen closet.

The stair case, which is open to the Great room leads first to a large landing which doubles as an office and extra sleeping space. Down the hall, there are two more spacious Master bedrooms with ensuite baths. Again, one bath has a soaker tub as well as a stand-alone shower. There are large storage and linen closets as well on this level.

The seven-foot concrete basement houses all the home’s operating systems including a two-zone heat pump which also acts as an air conditioner during the summer months, a central vacuum, double hot water heaters, air exchanger and water pump. Banks of storage shelves are conveniently built along the outside walls and in the centre of the basement is laundry room complete with laundry tub.

This home has the added advantage of an ADT security system.
