designed by acclaimed architect nicholas fudge, 78 shore road is a striking modern retreat where architecture, light, and coastal serenity converge.
nestled in the seaside community of herring cove and backing onto crown land, this residence was thoughtfully designed to capture natural light throughout the day through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, carefully curated living spaces, and rooftop terraces that offer glimpses of the ocean and surrounding coastal landscape.
inside, the home blends warmth with dramatic contemporary design. imported italian porcelain flooring, a sculptural floating staircase, and a stunning two-storey marble fireplace anchor the main living area, while natural light pours throughout the open concept kitchen, dining, and entertaining spaces. every detail has been intentionally considered, including the hidden office tucked discreetly beneath the staircase, creating both function and intrigue.
occupying its own private level, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat complete with access to the rooftop patio, creating a private outdoor escape ideal for quiet mornings or evening sunsets. multiple outdoor living areas invite year-round enjoyment, whether entertaining guests or unwinding in complete privacy.
set on over an acre across two pids, the property offers a rare sense of space and privacy while still being just minutes from downtown halifax. functionality is equally considered with a detached garage in addition to the double attached garage equipped with an ev charger. surrounded by nearby hiking trails and the rugged coastal beauty that defines herring cove living, this home offers a lifestyle that feels both grounded in nature and connected to the city.
this is a rare opportunity to own a design-forward coastal home that offers modern luxury, architectural significance, and a profound sense of escape.
