Morning begins with the lake. Sunlight moves across Five Island Lake as coffee is poured in the breakfast nook, and the day takes shape against a backdrop of water and trees. This is life at 225 Granite Cove Drive, a five bedroom, four bath residence with just under 5,000 sq. ft., 167 feet of lake frontage and a setting only 20 minutes from Halifax. Inside, each room feels thoughtfully connected to the next. The open concept kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances and a generous pantry, flows into the breakfast nook and onward to the sunroom, a peaceful retreat for mornings, afternoon reading or watching the seasons change. Nearby, the living room gathers everyone around a propane fireplace, while the formal dining room is ready for celebrations, shared meals and evenings that linger. A dedicated office just off the foyer provides a polished and quiet place to work from home. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a welcome sense of escape. Tray ceilings rise overhead, a second propane fireplace brings warmth and an oversized walk in closet provides exceptional storage. The five piece ensuite features a jetted tub and walk in shower. Three additional bedrooms, a beautifully renovated four piece bathroom and a finished laundry room complete this comfortable family level. Downstairs, life can be as active or relaxed as you choose. Settle in for movie night in the media room, gather in the recreation area or transform the flexible space into a home gym. A fifth bedroom and four piece bath create added privacy for guests, teenagers or extended family. Built to enduring R2000 standards and equipped with geothermal heating and cooling, the home provides efficient comfort in every season. Captivating lake views unfold from each level, keeping the water present throughout the day and inviting you outside to paddle, swim or simply unwind along the shoreline. At 225 Granite Cove Drive, lakefront living is not reserved for weekends. It becomes part of every day!
