Some homes are quietly extraordinary, thoughtfully designed, precisely executed, and felt the moment you arrive. Designed by architect David Bourque and built without compromise by Bowers Construction, 65 Shore Drive is an architectural statement set within Bedford Bay Estates, a private oceanfront enclave of just four residences on the Bedford Basin. One of Halifax’s most exclusive oceanfront developments, Bedford Bay Estates offers residents private marina access, protected by a man-made breakwater that shelters boats from storms and swells and creates a rare extension of coastal living. Set directly on the water, the home was designed to endure in both form and material. Limestone, Accoya wood cladding, and a standing seam metal roof create a timeless exterior, while Pella windows and doors frame uninterrupted water views. Refined landscaping and irrigation establish a polished arrival. Inside, craftsmanship defines every space. Reclaimed wood beams from northern Quebec add warmth and authenticity, balanced by custom metal detailing and a restrained palette of high-end finishes. The vaulted great room is anchored by a striking Stûv fireplace, bringing light, texture, and ocean views together. A main floor office could convert to a six bedroom. The kitchen, custom designed by Patti’s Kitchens, features a dramatic double island, Fisher & Paykel dishwashers, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and Wolf appliances, complemented by an exceptional walk-in pantry. The upper level offers three bedrooms, a fourth bedroom currently being used as an office, and a well-appointed laundry room. Victoria + Albert fixtures are featured throughout, with Ditra Heat in-floor heating in the primary ensuite. The lower level extends the living space with a gym, bar, entertainment room, additional bedroom, and full bath. Over 6, 500 square feet are supported by a double ducted heat pump system with generator plug, Lutron blinds with automation, a security system, and an oversized triple car garage.
