About 687 Ketch Harbour Road
As featured on HGTV, this one-of-a-kind coastal masterpiece is perched high above the Atlantic in sought-after Portuguese Cove. This home blends artistic design with the natural drama of East Coast living. Just minutes from Halifax, yet surrounded by rugged coastline and fresh sea air. Outdoor living takes center stage with a wrap-around covered deck featuring sleek glass panels, offering breathtaking views of marine traffic travelling the shipping lanes into Halifax Harbour. Inside, the main level showcases African teak and slate floors flowing seamlessly through bright, open spaces framed by European-style windows. A dreamy kitchen with wrap-around windows opens onto the main living area and a spacious dining room (or main level bedroom), while a propane fireplace creates cozy ambiance. A 3-piece bath adds convenience. The exclusive primary suite on the upper level is a true retreat—complete with soaring cathedral ceilings, a private deck with sweeping views, and a spa-inspired ensuite featuring a claw-foot tub and separate water closet. The lower level includes a bedroom, an office, and flexible living space warmed by a charming wood stove and a walkout. An oversized shed with a garage door offers ample room for motorcycles, a workshop, or recreational gear. Across the street, Portuguese Cove Park provides a playground and sports courts, while nearby amenities include the scenic Duncans Cove trails and lighthouse, Ketch Harbour Community Hall, and the brand-new Herring Cove Community Centre. Local favorites such as Pavia Café & Gallery, Now We’re Cookin’, and the white-sand beaches of Crystal Crescent are just minutes away. For daily needs, Spryfield’s grocery stores, shopping, and fitness centers are only a 10 minute drive. This is more than a home—it’s an experience. Here in Portuguese Cove, imagination, community, and coastal beauty come together to create extraordinary living.
