Perched above Halifax Harbour in the heart of Fergusons Cove, 4 York Redoubt Crescent is a one-of-a-kind coastal retreat where timeless heritage meets inspired modern design. Originally built in 1846 as the Stella Maris Chapel, this designated heritage property has been reimagined into a breathtaking home, offering panoramic views of McNabs Island, the open ocean, and the city skyline. From this vantage point, you'll experience the kind of coastal magic few ever do, cruise ships pass so close it feels as though you could reach out and touch them, a front row seat to Halifax’s vibrant harbour life that never gets old. Every inch of this four bedroom, four and a half bathroom home has been carefully crafted. From custom-built kitchen and living spaces to warm reclaimed wood accents and hand-finished details, including a handmade primary bed. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom, and one includes a cozy sitting area and wet bar, perfect for family or guests. One of the former chapel towers has been thoughtfully reworked into a dreamy lookout retreat with bunk beds and 180-degree views, the ultimate hideaway. Outside, unwind on your private deck, swim in the pool, or explore the walking trails just beyond your backyard. With reinforced stone and concrete foundation, custom built-ins throughout, and show-stopping design at every turn, this property isn’t just a home, it’s a legacy.
