Introducing 905 Marlborough Woods. Tucked into the treed enclave of Marlborough Woods, this extraordinary Northwest Arm residence offers a rare “country in the city” lifestyle in one of Halifax’s most coveted South End settings. Private, elegant, and deeply connected to the water, the home is surrounded by mature trees, layered gardens, hydrangea vines, and timeless coastal architecture. Originally built in 2005 and comprehensively renovated in 2018, it offers over 5,000 sq. ft. of beautifully finished living space, with 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 1 half bath. Every room has been thoughtfully composed with warmth, proportion, custom detail, and a seamless connection to water, gardens, and light. The main level is designed for both everyday ease and elevated entertaining, with a custom chef’s kitchen featuring Genuine Kitchen cabinetry, Statuario marble, Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances, along with a butler’s pantry, elegant dining room, covered waterside deck, waterfront living room, main floor office, and cozy den. Upstairs, the private primary suite feels like a calm exhale, with Arm views, a dressing room, spa-inspired ensuite, and private deck with ladder access to the widow’s walk. Two additional bedrooms, two full baths, hardwood flooring, and second-floor laundry complete this level. The lower level offers two more bedrooms, two full baths, a family room with walk-out to the patio and hot tub area, plus a generous mudroom off the built-in garage. Outside, the property becomes truly exceptional: approximately 60 feet of direct Northwest Arm frontage, a pre-Confederation water lot, boathouse, wharf, and float. Sheltered, private, and increasingly scarce, this is a protected waterfront holding of rare distinction. Elegant, warm, custom, and quietly spectacular, 905 Marlborough Woods is more than a beautiful home on the Arm. It is a lifestyle shaped by water, light, gardens, and ease.
