This Nova Scotia Home Is So Close To The Water You Can Almost Swim To The Front Door

It's on the market right now and is WAY cheaper than a downtown city condo! 😍

Managing Editor, Canada

Forget parking, how about swimming to the front door? This incredible house for sale in Nova Scotia comes with endless lakefront views and it even has a brook running alongside the driveway!

This spectacular year-round home is located on one of the most beautiful lakes in Nova Scotia's Antigonish County.

According to the real estate listing, this home is "nestled along the waterfront" and is surrounded by a picture-perfect white picket fence.

The yard features mature trees and garden beds, as well as a little wooden bridge that leads across your own private brook.

Inside, there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms, in addition to an open concept kitchen, dining and living room. Here, a door leads out to the large deck with a gazebo along the water. Dreamy, eh?

While this impressive home isn't exactly cheap at $740,000, it seems pretty reasonable when compared with the cost of some downtown city condos. When tiny Toronto homes cost over $1 million, this could almost be considered a bargain!
