About 276 Sunnylea Road
Terrace House stands as a rare architectural achievement, 10,417 sq.ft. of contemporary design envisioned by David Bourque, crafted to a standard seldom seen in Nova Scotia. Built to commercial grade specifications, this estate marries strength, precision, and artistry, setting a benchmark for luxury living. The construction tells its own story of permanence: ICF walls, an aluminum curtain wall system with Solarban 60 glazing, and a standing seam metal roof create a structure designed to endure. Inside, solid white oak beams soften the modern aesthetic, while radiant in-floor heating, including in the triple garage, ensures year-round comfort. Ten discreet ducted cooling units and a fully engineered mechanical system provide silent efficiency without visual interruption. With 6 bedrooms and 8 baths, the home balances intimacy and scale. The main level primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a lounge, double sided fireplace, walk-out patio, walk-in dressing room with laundry, and a striking ensuite anchored by a sculptural concrete tub. Additional bedrooms feature private ensuites, and the thoughtful flow adapts seamlessly to both family living and entertaining. The culinary space elevates daily rituals, offering a commercial grade gas range, dual panel ready JennAir refrigerators, a statement island, and a secondary prep kitchen. In the loft, you'll find a versatile suite with bunk beds, kitchenette, and bath extends the home’s hospitality, while the lower level provides a world of its own with a bedroom, full bath, secret room, wine room, bar, gym, and theatre. Refined finishes, including Emtek hardware, cold rolled steel railings inset with custom glass, Control4 smart automation, and book matched stonework, underscore the home’s craftsmanship. Set on 185 feet of frontage along Grand Lake, the property offers a rare combination of natural serenity and modern convenience, with downtown Halifax and the airport within easy reach.
