Exceptional Oceanfront Living in One of HRM’s Most Coveted Coastal Communities Welcome to the best in Halifax Regional Municipality—Allen Heights, a prestigious and tightly held oceanfront community nestled on the calm, protected waters at The Head of St. Margaret’s Bay. Here, the water is as still as a lake, perfect for swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding, yet opens to world-class sailing grounds known across Nova Scotia. This property is a rare and remarkable offering. The west-facing home sits elevated above the shoreline, capturing ocean views from all three levels. A beautifully terraced and professionally landscaped garden with mature plantings gently leads you to the water’s edge. At the shoreline, a wraparound wharf with steps to a sandy beach invites you to enjoy the very best of seaside living. A 21-foot T-shaped float offers docking for up to three boats, complemented by a separate mooring—ready for your sailboat or cruiser. Whether it's morning coffee on the dock or sunset sails across the bay, this is coastal living without compromise, just 25 mins to the city. The 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home features large windows and outdoor spaces designed to take full advantage of the views. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets from the expansive deck, and entertain with ease thanks to a fully finished walk-out basement, and a custom open concept kitchen/dining room. Just minutes to cafés, marinas, and the Rails to Trails, in a great school district, this is more than a home—it’s a front-row seat to family life on the ocean.
