634 Ketch Harbour Road – Where Maritime History Meets Coastal Living Perched at the mouth of Halifax Harbour along the shipping lanes, this captivating seaside home is the perfect depiction of a classic captain’s house. With 120 feet of ocean frontage, you’ll be mesmerized by panoramic views of passing boats, cruise ships, and marine life — all from the aptly named "Lower Deck". It’s the kind of view that makes you feel close enough to touch the ships as they glide by. This stretch of coastline is rich with history — it’s the resting site of the HMHS Letitia, a World War I hospital ship that sank nearby and still attracts divers to explore its story beneath the waves. Inside, the home’s living space is anchored by a striking floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, creating a warm and inviting centerpiece. Expansive hurricane-proof paned windows frame breathtaking ocean vistas, filling every corner with natural light. Step up to the top deck to take in even more dramatic views — and keep an eye out for the resident eagles soaring overhead. With one bedroom and one bath, this property is ideal for those looking to downsize, retire, or embrace the simple coastal life as a solopreneur or creative retreat. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Nova Scotia’s maritime soul, 634 Ketch Harbour Road offers the serenity, history, and oceanfront beauty only this coastline can provide. *Please do not enter the property without an agent or a private viewing.
