From the Agent: “Point House is a rare offering by internationally acclaimed architect Brian MacKay-Lyons. Surrounded by Atlantic waters on three sides, Point House transcends conventional coastal living through its marriage of Nova Scotian vernacular and contemporary minimalism. Eastern white cedar shingles and steep gabled rooflines honor Nova Scotia’s architectural heritage while floor-to-ceiling glass walls dissolve boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. The double-height great room is punctuated by blackened steel totemic elements and anchored by a monumental hearth. A sculptural steel ribbon staircase—equal parts function and art—ascends to the loft retreat, a private sanctuary suspended above. The two-story companion bunkie—with pivoting walls—seamlessly merges interior comfort with the tranquility of the exterior tidal pond. An infinity hot tub at the water’s edge completes this coastal sanctuary, where sunrise and sunset paint daily masterpieces across the sky. Steps from Hirtle’s Beach and Gaff Point trails, this award-winning property offers unparalleled natural beauty.“
