8-Armdale/Purcell's Cove/Herring Cove Halifax B4A 3Z5

Perched above the North West Arm in a quiet pocket off Purcells Cove Road, this extensively renovated home offers the rare combination of modern construction, water views, and a legal secondary suite. Built in 2010, this beautifully updated home pairs modern construction with a private oasis in the backyard and of course, exceptional flexibility. Extensively renovated over the past five years, the main level features new tile flooring, updated lighting and fixtures throughout, and a renovated kitchen complete with quartz countertops, new appliances, updated hardware, and a modern sink and faucet. The open-concept layout is bright and inviting, designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, two of the three bedrooms offer private ensuites - a highly desirable layout for families or guests. All bathrooms have been refreshed with quartz countertops, new sinks, faucets, mirrors, hardware, toilets, and tile flooring, creating cohesive, contemporary spaces! The legal secondary suite includes its own kitchen, appliances, and laundry, offering excellent income potential, extended family living, or a private workspace. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A composite deck and hot tub overlook the Arm, while recent exterior improvements include new front with glass railings and side concrete stairs, excavation and regrading, a new retaining wall, and upgraded hardscaping that enhances both curb appeal and durability. Major upgrades also include a heat pump (2024), electric furnace (2024), air exchanger (2021), and hot water tank (2021). Move-in ready, thoughtfully renovated, and rarely available with views like this — this is a standout opportunity in one of Halifax’s most sought-after coastal neighbourhoods.
