Welcome to 1237 Purcells Cove Road, where coastal charm and views of the Northwest Arm come together just minutes from the heart of Halifax. This 1.5-storey home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a comfortable layout and plenty of character. The main level features hardwood flooring, a bright living room with an electric fireplace, a dedicated dining area, and a well-appointed kitchen. Two main-floor bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests or a home office, alongside a full bathroom. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is paired with a second full bathroom and dressing area. Ductless heat pumps added in 2024 provide efficient heating and cooling. At the back of the home, a mudroom provides practical storage and leads outside to a private, treed oasis.

The back deck wraps around to the covered front veranda, where you can enjoy sunrises over the Northwest Arm, with the Armdale Yacht Club and Regatta Point walkway just steps away.
