Turn North on Balsam Lane and it's the second house on the left. The waterfall is behind the third house and can be seen from the road. Nestled in the sheltered cove, this 1600 sq. ft. uniquely situated coastal retreat at 13 Balsam Lane perfectly combines natural beauty and contemporary design. Featuring stunning views of Bonavista Bay and Terra Nova National Park, it’s a year-round haven of salt water sunrises and sipping coffee from your bright porch sunroom, with water access directly across the street for kayaking or boating. Inside, the bright open-concept main floor features 16ft ceilings, warm hardwood accents, stainless steel appliances, an eat-in open kitchen and dining area with an island, plenty of cabinet and pantry space, and an abundance of natural light from large east-facing windows. A convenient laundry room, a full bathroom, a bright master bedroom with a walk-in closet, private ensuite, and breathtaking open bay views, and a long screened in back porch completes this ultimate sanctuary. Upstairs there's two more sizeable bedrooms with windows that open up to the sounds of the cascading waterfall next door. This charming two-story home is designed for comfortable year-round living and is supplied with exceptional gravity-fed spring water from an ever-flowing aquifer through a deeded shared well agreement. Efficient heating and cooling are provided by two mini-split heat pumps, complimented by electric baseboard heating throughout. With just under an acre of lush landscaped grounds, this property features mature trees and shrubs, dozens of fruit trees, including apples, currents, raspberries, peach, and blackberries, and a spacious 2-level storage shed, with wood burning stove, and a large greenhouse with a gardeners shed.
