Does your dream home have a panoramic sunset water view? This is the best view I’ve seen in Saint John, of 20 plus miles overlooking the river to Grand Bay. Picture sitting with morning with coffee/tea in hand, as the day awakens and your gaze scans the distant shores of the river and distant bay.  You watch, as the ferry starts it’s mesmerizing journey, back and forth from Millidgeville to Kingston Peninsula.  On Wednesday evenings and Sundays, the wind fills the sails of boats from RKYC as they slice through the water, tipped on their side, racing to be the first over the finish line.  Evenings are special as friends and relatives join you on the deck, a cool refreshing drink in hand, admiring the stunning reds, golds, oranges and purples, as another spectacular sunset takes center stage across the  western sky.  Is it a perfect day, possibly, as this is about as good as it gets!

Located on a very quiet cul de sac, this inviting home features modern styling and high-quality construction, with the entire structure of the building being ICF construction with upgraded insulation.  What does this mean for you?   Lower power bills and a very quiet interior, with no wind noise even on the most blustering of days.  The oversized windows allow for natural light on both levels and the view is breathtaking from the moment you walk in the door!

The open concept great room, dining area and kitchen boasts 24′ ceiling & recessed lighting. The rest of the main level enjoys 9.5′ ceilings. 

The upscale, white, quartz kitchen with gleaming oversized tiled flooring, overlooks the great room with large breakfast bar island, five-burner stove with pot filler, tiled backsplash, refrigerator and microwave. It serves perfectly as a bar at get-togethers, large and small alike.  A very special feature of this home is the adjacent, huge pantry which is actually a second full kitchen of it’s own with double sink, wall oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher.  The beauty of this design is that the door can be closed to keep food smells within the pantry, if you wish, and it’s also ideal for entertaining, keeping all the mess, out of sight, while the great room sparkles!

Inviting for every day comfortable living, and spacious for truly, entertaining in style, the expansive thirty eight foot great room/dining room  with recessed lighting, claims a breathtaking view that makes the windows look more like paintings, it’s so surreal!  Must be seen to be fully appreciated!  The covered deck is accessed here from two locations in the great room allowing the parties to flow, inside and out.  The deck railings are glass so as not to obscure the view.

There is a large guest powder room, conveniently located on the main level, as well as the  mudroom/laundry laundry room with stainless steel set sink and direct garage access.

This style of home is what we call one level living with three good-sized bedrooms on the main floor all with ensuite bathrooms.  This is the ideal layout for those with any type of mobility issue or those who are just tired of doing stairs!

The master suite includes the primary bedroom with river view windows facing north and west, spacious dressing room & five-piece  ensuite bathroom with double vanity, deep soaker tub and separate tiled five foot shower.  The second bedroom also features a walk-in closet and river view plus three-piece ensuite bath with shower while the third bedroom features a double closet and four-piece ensuite bath with double sinks and five-foot tiled shower.

The fully finished daylight lower walkout level claims 9′ ceilings and huge windows overlooking the water.  Here we find a third full kitchen complete with stove, refrigerator and dishwasher, welcomed by visiting guests and appreciated by family members enjoying in-family living!  This floor features the fourth and fifth bedrooms, full bath with tub/shower, large office, and spacious family/rec room with wood-burning stove and covered patio access from two locations.  There are two huge storage rooms (one shares the mechanical room and the other would make the perfect gym, home theatre or work shop). There are three exterior entrances to this lower level, two from the patio and one from the  side door, for easy access.

The heating system is an economical ducted heat pump for full-house heat and air conditioning.  The water is on municipal as well as the sewerage system being municipal.  The electrical entrance is a 400 amp meaning there is plenty of amperage for any tools you may want to add to your workshop, etc.  The double-wide driveway is paved and the lot is sloped.  The oversized three-car garage is insulated and finished with 1-side being tandem plus there is a man door to outdoors and direct access to the mud room.
