Leisurely Lakeside Living in Nova Scotia Could Be Yours for $5M
Terrace House is a 10,000-square-foot contemporary residence designed by architect David Bourque, offering a level of luxury rarely encountered in Nova Scotia. Constructed to commercial-grade specifications and thoughtfully tailored for elevated everyday living, the home is a seamless expression of strength, precision, and architectural clarity.
With ICF construction, aluminum curtain wall systems featuring Solarban 60 glazing, and a standing seam metal roof, this home is built to endure both nature and time. Solid white oak beams add warmth and clarity to the modern interior.
A full mechanical engineering design supports radiant in-floor heating throughout—including the triple-car garage and ten discreet ducted cooling units. No bulkheads interrupt the flow; all systems are fully integrated for performance and quiet efficiency.
The six-bedroom, eight-bath home is thoughtfully designed for flexibility. The main-floor primary suite is a sanctuary, featuring a double-sided fireplace, private lounge, walk-out patio, walk-in dressing room with laundry, and an en suite centered around a sculptural freestanding concrete tub. Most additional bedrooms include private en suites, and the layout flows intuitively—perfect for a couple, yet expansive enough for family living.
The chef’s kitchen features a commercial gas range, dual JennAir full-size panel-ready refrigerators, an oversized island, and a secondary prep kitchen. The breakout space above the garage includes built-in bunk beds, a bedroom, bath, and kitchenette, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. The lower level includes a bedroom, full bath, secret room, wine room, bar, gym, and theatre.
Finishes include Emtek hardware, cold-rolled steel railings with custom-cut glass, Control4 smart automation, and book-matched stonework throughout. With over 185 feet on Grand Lake and easy access to the airport and downtown Halifax, Terrace House offers serenity and convenience in equal measure.
