12 Whynacht Cove Road Heckmans Island, NS B0J 2C0

Privacy meets proximity in this fantastic family home. Just 7 minutes from Lunenburg, it feels a world away. This quality home has been deeply loved and extraordinarily cared for and meticulously modernized. Three big bedrooms, two separate family living spaces, and walkout access to a big, beautiful backyard make it easy for this home to accommodate your lifestyle. For peace of mind, all the big ticket items have been updated in the last two years: New metal roof (2025 with 5 year warranty), all new appliances (2025, including wifi-powered kitchen appliancespreheat the oven from your phone on the way home from work!), new ceramic-tiled entryway (2025), custom cellular blinds (2025), new flooring in the main floor bedrooms, playroom, and loft (2025), sprayfoam insulation in the basement (2025) and the highlight: an additional almost 400 sq ft of brand new living space in the brightest basement you've ever seen (2025). Cape cod siding updated in 2021, heat pump installed in 2019, and a new water filtration system installed in 2022. The entire home was repainted professionally in 2024. Generator panel with generator included. Deeded access to the ocean is a mere 78-second stroll down the quiet lane (we timed it!) -- the perfect launch pad for the kayaks or perhaps the kids just want to dip their toes in salt water. Heckmans Island is an incredibly family friendly community and the school bus stops right in front of the house. And the road is quiet enough for kids to bike, scooter, and play hockey. The nearly 1-acre property has a border of mature white pines and there are two mature apple trees with a bounty of fruit. New (2024) steel 32" raised garden beds offer space to grow your own food. Two big, clean sheds for all your hobbies or a future workshop. This home is a must-see to be truly appreciated; there are beautiful surprises and intentional, smart upgrades everywhere!
