Property Description
Welcome to 161 Water Street, Westport, a coastal retreat perfectly positioned on a spacious lot overlooking the breathtaking waters of Grand Passage. Offering 3+1 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, this inviting home captures some of the most astounding panoramic views you'll find anywhere, with ever-changing marine scenery stretching across the passage and toward the picturesque village of Westport. Located on Brier Island, a rugged and captivating eco-tourism destination renowned for its exceptional whale watching, bird watching, scenic hiking trails, and historic lighthouses, this home provides the perfect balance of natural beauty and community connection. Just a short walk away, you'll find the local general store, where you can pick up many of your everyday essentials, and the local pub. Inside, the main level features a galley-style kitchen that flows seamlessly into the dining area, where patio doors lead to an expansive deck perfectly positioned to capture the afternoon sun and spectacular ocean views. A spacious living room, three comfortable bedrooms, a heat pump providing efficient heating and cooling, and a full 4-piece bath complete the main level. Downstairs, the lower level offers exceptional flexibility with a large family/recreation room, laundry area, workshop, utility and storage space, along with a generously sized room featuring a propane stove that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom, guest suite, or hobby space. Thoughtful upgrades completed by the current owners include the installation of solar panels, helping make the property remarkably energy-efficient and largely self-sufficient, a newly added 2-piece bath, an expanded deck, kitchen updates, and other improvements that enhance both comfort and functionality. With stunning ocean views, a slower pace of life, and a welcoming coastal community, this exceptional property offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
