00:01Surf, sand, waves, and tides for people all around the world.
00:06The coastal dream is just a move away.
00:17It is kind of crazy that we're doing this with a nine-week-old baby.
00:20I mean, I feel like I literally just left the hospital.
00:24Things are going to be a little crazy for a little bit.
00:26Yeah. I'm Ashley.
00:27And I'm Dylan.
00:28We've been together for about seven or eight years now, married for four.
00:31And now we're looking for that dream oceanfront home.
00:35We met online.
00:37We really thought it was going to be a one-time, one-date thing.
00:40I'm just this country bumpkin from out here on the East Coast.
00:43And I had never actually been on a date with someone from Toronto before.
00:48It was new. It was cool.
00:49And I trapped you immediately.
00:51And she trapped me immediately.
00:53Now we're married.
00:54Now we're married.
00:54With a baby.
00:55With a baby.
00:56Eight years later, our son's name is Itai.
00:59In Shona language, Itai means do your thing.
01:02And if you know my husband, it's perfect.
01:04So I grew up in New Brunswick on the Bay of Fundy.
01:09And I'm all about the water, the crabbing and the fishing and the beachcombing for sea glass.
01:16So I have a 22-foot sailboat, kind of my pride and joy until my...
01:22Other than our baby.
01:23Until my baby came along.
01:25But anyway, he'll be my little sailor.
01:27We live in a condo right now in Halifax.
01:30It doesn't work for us anymore because we need some more space.
01:33And now that we have a baby, we really want to make sure that we're planting down roots here in Nova Scotia.
01:39Living on the water was a dream.
01:40It was not possible for me in the city in Toronto.
01:43And then the minute I moved out here, it was all of a sudden there's all these possibilities.
01:47That's why we need a house on the water, so that he can get out there, be on the water, and I can have a cocktail and a floatie.
01:55The wish list for the new house is I would really like a nice view with a beautiful deck.
02:00I just want a place that after work I can come home, have a glass of wine on my deck overlooking the water.
02:05Three bedrooms, two bathrooms if possible.
02:08I'd like to have one or two more children.
02:10And then we also need like a guest room for people when they come visit.
02:13It'd be nice to have a big kitchen, be able to host our friends and our family.
02:18I am a bit of a hoarder when it comes to my clothing, so I do need a lot of closet space.
02:24I'd love a place where I can put my boat, having sort of a boathouse or a shed or something to store all the toys.
02:32We'd love to be 30 minutes from the city so that we can both get to work within a reasonable amount of time.
02:39The more green space, the better would be ideal too.
02:43Being close to the water, but also having a bit of space.
02:48So you want it all.
02:49You've got to have it all.
02:50I want it all too. I agree.
02:54Our budget's around $650,000, I would say, right?
02:59Yeah, I think we just want to make sure we still have, you know, money left over to shop, go to lunch, go to dinner.
03:04We have a baby. We need to get the baby settled.
03:10So something that we can move into and just start living our lives immediately would be ideal.
03:15The sooner we find that house, the sooner we can move in and the sooner we can get doing the stuff we want to do.
03:21Our real estate agent is Riley. He's a friend of a friend of mine.
03:24Riley's just so easy to talk to. He understands.
03:27He listens really attentively to what your needs are and I just trust him completely.
03:32Riley and Dylan, they'd like to be within about 30 minutes of the city.
03:36It's pretty tough to find an oceanfront property below the 700 mark.
03:40So I think we might have our work cut out for us here.
03:46Today we're in Wynots Point.
03:48We're just outside of Tantallen, which is about 20 minutes shot to Halifax.
03:52Great location for any buyer that's looking for a mixture of outdoors while being commutable to the city.
03:57I think this is a great property. It's got a ton of charm. It's a little bit small, but it fits the budget.
04:03Overlooking the water. There are a few things that could use a little bit of work, but with that extra wiggle room, I think they can get what they need out of it.
04:11Hey, Riley!
04:12Nice to see you.
04:13What a great spot.
04:14Good to see you.
04:15Welcome to Wynots Point.
04:16It's beautiful here.
04:17Yeah.
04:17I love the shutters on the house.
04:19Yeah, it's super cute.
04:20This is the first house I'm taking Ashtray and Delen to. It's a three-bedroom, one-bath from home, just 20 minutes from downtown Halifax.
04:28There is 1,102 square feet of living space, and it's right across the street from an ocean inlet.
04:32This house is listed at $589,000, which leaves a ton of room for upgrades.
04:38So do we have any outbuildings or any storage outside of the house?
04:42Yeah, we've got a nice big shed in the back.
04:44They did have a garage at one point, so there's a foundation there if you wanted to build a boathouse.
04:48It's a marina just up the road for about five minutes if you wanted to drop the boat in the water for the summer.
04:53Awesome.
04:53All right.
04:54First house, you guys want to have a look?
04:55Yeah, excited.
04:56Let's do it.
04:56All right, let's go.
04:59Hey, this is cute.
05:01Super cute.
05:02Yeah, this is really cute.
05:04What do you think of the floors?
05:05I love the floors.
05:06I love the wood.
05:07I love the beam.
05:08I think that's super adorable.
05:10I will say there's nowhere to put coats and stuff in the front.
05:13That's kind of stressing me out a bit.
05:15Yeah, that's a big thing for me as well.
05:17Yeah.
05:17Walking right into a living room kind of drives me nuts.
05:20Yeah.
05:20The view is really nice from here.
05:22Yeah, this is great with the porch.
05:24I do like the porch a lot.
05:26It's adorable.
05:27Yeah, the covered porch is personally a dream of mine, sitting out there, drinking coffee,
05:31watching the sunrise.
05:33Well, as soon as we get the boat in, Riley, we're going to need a babysitter, so you got
05:37your own speed dial.
05:38Yeah, all right.
05:39Check out the dining room.
05:40Yeah.
05:41Really claustrophobic in here.
05:45I mean, this would not fit a table of eight to ten people.
05:48Definitely not.
05:49No.
05:49I mean, with your guys' budget, there's some room there if you wanted to do a bit of a remodel.
05:53I can see a partial view of the water from here right now, but probably be knocking down
05:59most of these walls.
06:00I can see a partial view of the water from here right now, but probably be knocking down
06:14most of these walls on this floor, just to open everything up.
06:19The house being a little bit below our budget, that does give us some room to play with and
06:24open things up.
06:26Want to check out the kitchen?
06:27Yeah.
06:28All right, the heart of the home.
06:29It is pretty small, and so if we could steal a little space from maybe outside, bump it
06:37out a little bit for the kitchen, then I could see this being a perfect space for us.
06:41Right.
06:41You think you can do that yourself?
06:43We might have to wait 15 years for my son to be able to swing a hammer.
06:49Okay.
06:50This is cute.
06:51Lots of potential.
06:52I mean, to bump out, your meter's here, your cabinets are all there, you're probably going
06:57to want to bump out this way.
06:58I could definitely see like a sunroom here, or like extending the kitchen, I think this
07:02would be really nice, or like a little breakfast nook.
07:04Yeah, I think you could do it.
07:06Again, it's just kind of a dollar figure, right?
07:08Yes, yeah.
07:09All right, Riley.
07:10Let's see you upstairs.
07:10Okay.
07:13I mean, yes, this banister needs to be another color, but it is kind of cool.
07:19Okay.
07:19So this is the bathroom?
07:22Pretty cramped.
07:23The bathroom's a little tight.
07:24And it's the only bathroom in the whole house?
07:26Only bathroom.
07:27Right now.
07:28Okay.
07:28Interesting.
07:29And this is going to be the only p-line green bathtub in Nova Scotia.
07:35Yeah.
07:35Okay.
07:37This is an okay size.
07:39Yeah.
07:40Plenty of space for a nursery, obviously.
07:42Your primary walk-in closet here.
07:46Oh.
07:47Outside of the bedroom.
07:48In the hallway.
07:49In the hallway.
07:50Okay.
07:51So it checks the box, but it's unfortunately not attached to your bedroom.
07:54Okay.
07:56Maybe not ideal.
07:57No.
07:58Let's look at the primary bedroom here.
08:01Okay.
08:01This is cute.
08:02Yeah.
08:03So it's definitely small for a primary bedroom, but I get the view of the water right out
08:08of the bedroom, so that's a huge plus.
08:10You guys want to go take another look at the water?
08:12Yeah.
08:12Let's do it.
08:13This is really beautiful, I will say.
08:15Yeah.
08:16I like it.
08:17Well, let's get down to brass tacks.
08:19What do you think about the house?
08:20Is there potential there?
08:21I mean, I like it.
08:21It's really adorable.
08:23A little too small and maybe a little bit too much to do.
08:25If you're able to maybe move in price a little bit.
08:28I think I've got a great spot for you guys.
08:30Yeah.
08:30We'd definitely be willing to see it for sure.
08:32Let's do it.
08:40This is the perfect area to be if you love the outdoors.
08:43Plenty of hiking opportunities.
08:44If you're a hunter or fisher, this is a wicked neighborhood to live in.
08:48I think this house could be a perfect fit for Ashley and Dylan.
08:51It's fully turnkey, slightly above budget, but I think it does check all their boxes.
08:56Hey, Riley.
08:57How's it going?
08:57Good morning.
08:59This place is a stunner.
09:00There's conveniently a marina about five minutes down the road.
09:03Views are a lot more picturesque than yesterday's home.
09:07This is absolutely very beautiful.
09:10Today I'm taking Ashley and Dylan to see a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home.
09:13There is 2,958 square feet of living space and it has beautiful ocean views.
09:18This house sits on just under an acre of land and is only 40 minutes to Halifax's downtown core.
09:22It's over budget at $699,000.
09:26So I'm noticing a pretty big garage here, Riley.
09:30So I'm loving that compared to yesterday's home.
09:33It's actually double wide.
09:35So you could park two cars in this side.
09:37Tons of space for a workshop on the other side of it.
09:40Dylan could live in the garage.
09:41Dylan could live in the garage.
09:42Perfect.
09:42Two for one.
09:43Two for one.
09:45And how far are we from downtown here?
09:47It's about a 40-minute drive to get out here.
09:49It felt a bit far when we were driving.
09:52This house is about as turnkey as you guys are going to see.
09:54We're looking at $699,000 on this one.
09:58Okay.
09:58Yeah, we knew it would be over budget.
10:00But all right.
10:01We're willing to look at it for sure.
10:03It is beautiful.
10:03Let's go.
10:04Oh, wow.
10:07This is beautiful.
10:09This is nice and big.
10:10Yeah, I love this.
10:11I love that stove.
10:13This is amazing.
10:14This is beautiful.
10:16I like the cabinets.
10:17I would probably change the island a little bit,
10:20maybe make it a little bit bigger.
10:21But really, that's all I'm seeing that I would really make a huge difference to.
10:25But I love that you can see the view from the sink.
10:28This house feels way more open.
10:31We can be sitting here.
10:33The tie can be playing.
10:35Yeah.
10:35And we're able to keep an eye on him.
10:37Yeah.
10:38To the back here, you have the primary bedroom and the primary bathroom.
10:42Okay.
10:42So we have a tub.
10:44Yeah, this is great.
10:45This is a big space.
10:47And I do love that there's a bathtub to bathe the baby.
10:50This is perfect that it's right in here.
10:51I do think you're really going to love the primary bedroom.
10:53Yeah, let's take a look.
10:55Oh, wow.
10:57I love this.
10:58Yeah, so this is bigger than the living room in the house we saw yesterday.
11:01Yes.
11:01And I do want to take a peek at that closet.
11:04I think you're going to like it.
11:05I'm very excited about that.
11:06What are we working with?
11:18And I do want to take a peek at that closet.
11:20I think you're going to like it.
11:21I'm very excited about that.
11:23What are we working with?
11:24Oh, wow.
11:26This is amazing.
11:27This is an amazing size.
11:28Look, this is a real walk-in closet.
11:30Quick, close the door.
11:32I love this.
11:33This is a great space.
11:34Nice little bonuses to walk out to the deck.
11:39This is a nice space.
11:40Oh, wow.
11:40This is beautiful.
11:41I mean, this connects all the way to the front of the house.
11:43Right.
11:44Which is awesome.
11:45Cool hot tub.
11:45I love it.
11:46It's a big hot tub.
11:46Yeah, it feels like a vacation out here.
11:48It's beautiful.
11:49All right, well, why don't you guys go in,
11:50check out the rest of the house,
11:51and I'll meet you on the front deck.
11:52Perfect.
11:54Oh, wow.
11:54Look at this laundry room.
11:56Oh, my gosh.
11:57Look at these bedrooms.
11:58This is huge.
12:00Nice and light.
12:01Yeah, that's amazing.
12:01Very nice.
12:02And I'm dying to see this garage.
12:05Oh, wow.
12:07This is huge.
12:08Holy.
12:09This is massive.
12:12Okay.
12:13So the boat plus everything else could definitely fit in here.
12:17House one could fit in here.
12:19Yeah, this is amazing, Dylan.
12:22I mean, we would never get this anywhere near the city.
12:24Like, that's the problem.
12:26I think we have a lot to think about.
12:28I think we should just go see Riley.
12:29Yeah, let's do it.
12:32Wow, this is beautiful.
12:35What did you think of the rest of the house?
12:36It was really great.
12:37I mean, it works perfectly for our lifestyle.
12:40How do you feel about it after, you know,
12:42the price being a little bit more than you're wanting to spend at $699,000?
12:47For me, it's more the distance that's the issue.
12:49Yeah.
12:50The distance from downtown for us to get to work and back,
12:53it's a lot at the end of the day.
12:55Okay.
12:56Well, I do have one spot in mind a little bit closer to the city
12:58that I think could maybe be a good fit for you guys.
13:01Yeah, I'd love to take a look at that.
13:02Thanks, Riley.
13:03Let's do it.
13:06Today, we're in Purcell's Cove.
13:08Lovely area if you're looking for a little bit of nature
13:11within a short shot to the city.
13:12You're about a 20-minute shot to downtown.
13:14There are a couple yacht clubs with marinas nearby.
13:18Hey, Riley.
13:19Hi, Riley.
13:20How's it going?
13:20Not too bad.
13:21How are you doing?
13:21Oh, good, thanks.
13:22Love the area.
13:23Right in the city, it feels like.
13:26The third house I'm taking Ashley and Dylan to see
13:28has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
13:30There's 1,908 square feet of living space,
13:32and it's super close to Halifax's downtown core.
13:35It's listed at $639,000, just below their budget.
13:39A little bit of work to be done, but it's cute as is.
13:42I think you could probably make it work
13:44just moving in and doing the work as you go.
13:47Any outbuildings or where am I putting my boat here?
13:49Not much in terms of a garage,
13:51but there's a nice big shed in the backyard.
13:52You also have a couple marinas just up the road,
13:55one actually probably about two minutes away.
13:57Okay.
13:57Should we go have a look?
13:59Yeah.
13:59Let's do it.
14:04Oh, wow.
14:05Cool.
14:06I love the front foyer.
14:07That's great.
14:08Place to put your boots, shoes.
14:10And then this is where we're getting into danger.
14:13Yeah.
14:13Yeah, the stairs look a little bit dangerous.
14:16You could probably slap a gate on there for the time being.
14:19This is one of those improvements that I was talking about.
14:21If we do choose the house,
14:23then this is something we'll have to look at.
14:24That we'd have to do first, probably.
14:26Yeah.
14:26Let's take in the view.
14:29Yes, this is beautiful.
14:30I love these windows.
14:32I love the light that's coming in.
14:34I love that we feel like we're still in the city.
14:37I mean, I definitely love that we're kind of way up here in the trees.
14:40Yeah, it does.
14:41It does feel like you're in the trees.
14:43Yeah.
14:43I like that.
14:44I also like the actual space of this.
14:47Like the fact that we can have a big seating table to eat.
14:51I think you're also going to really like the kitchen.
14:53It's nice and bright in there.
14:55Okay.
14:56All right.
14:56Yeah.
14:57I do like the cabinets.
14:58I love that they go all the way up to the ceilings.
15:00Cabinets are great.
15:01Yeah, that's great.
15:02Appliances are kind of on the older sides.
15:04Everything would have to be upgraded in this kitchen.
15:06Like the appliances would have to be upgraded and the backsplash I don't love.
15:11I'm just not understanding how much sailing I'm doing if I'm totally renoing the house.
15:15Yeah.
15:16All right.
15:16You got your bathroom over here.
15:19Full bath.
15:20Unfortunately, no bathtub.
15:22And the laundry's in there as well.
15:24Okay.
15:24Great.
15:26Okay.
15:27So we have some glass blocks happening here, Riley.
15:31Yeah.
15:31How do you feel about the glass blocks?
15:32I'm loving the glass blocks.
15:34I don't like the glass blocks, personally.
15:36I can live with it for now, but, you know, the floors and the tiles need to be changed in
15:42here to lighten it up a little bit.
15:43You're adding up the projects there, Dylan?
15:46Project five.
15:49All right.
15:49So this is the primary.
15:50Nice and bright in here.
15:52Yeah.
15:52This is definitely beautiful.
15:54Good size room.
15:55And obviously, that's your walk out into the backyard.
15:57Okay, yeah.
15:58This fireplace outside of the window, too.
16:00Oh, with a fire pit.
16:01Would you make me a fire every night?
16:03Of course.
16:04So is this the only way to get to the backyard?
16:06Yeah, that's kind of one thing to consider.
16:08Okay.
16:08Any access to the backyard is through this room.
16:10Okay.
16:11So people would have to be traipsing through our bedroom to get to the backyard.
16:14That's not ideal.
16:16Oh, cute.
16:35Yeah.
16:37Nice, peaceful little retreat.
16:39Yeah.
16:39The backyard is a nice size.
16:41Fireplace is nice.
16:42I like the fire pit.
16:43Yep.
16:44Cool hot tub.
16:46Yeah, I think I'd have to think about how to make a workaround so that the primary bedroom
16:50isn't the only way to come out here.
16:51But that's something I could look into over time.
16:54You guys should probably check out the basement.
16:56I'll meet you guys out on the deck there when you're finished having a look.
16:58Okay, perfect.
17:00Okay, wow.
17:01These stairs are a bit dangerous, I will say.
17:05Oh, but wow.
17:06There's a sauna down here.
17:08That's unexpected.
17:09Okay, and this space is just an open, empty basement.
17:17A bit of an open canvas, but having the bathroom down here does make it more of a livable space.
17:23Yeah.
17:24And at the end of the day, I would love for people to be able to come visit and just have
17:29their own place to come to and not be on the same floor as all of us.
17:33I agree.
17:33Yeah.
17:34We have a lot to consider.
17:35Yeah.
17:36But why don't we just go meet up with Riley on the deck?
17:38Yeah.
17:39Oh, wow.
17:40I just love it out here.
17:42Yeah.
17:43So, I mean, at 639, you know, getting kind of close to your guys' budget, what do you
17:47guys think about this place?
17:48So, this house looks like it's turning into a lot of work, and I think a lot of work is
17:51turning into a lot of money.
17:53It's just a lot of factors to think about when kind of deciding what we're going to settle on.
17:58All right.
17:59Sounds great.
17:59You guys know where to reach me.
18:00Perfect.
18:00Awesome.
18:02Riley showed us some really great options.
18:04Yeah.
18:04Tough decision to pick one.
18:06Yeah.
18:08I can't believe how far we've come.
18:10Like, we met eight years ago now, and look where we are.
18:14I'm looking for our forever home in Nova Scotia.
18:16I'd never imagined doing this with a newborn either.
18:19So, let's start with house one, Cozy Cove.
18:23Three bedrooms, but, I mean, it was pretty tight in there.
18:27Very small.
18:28Yeah, it was tight.
18:30I think we really would need to take room from the dining room there to extend the kitchen.
18:35One small bathroom just isn't going to cut.
18:37And where am I going to bath?
18:38Yeah.
18:39Not in there, I don't think.
18:42This house is $589,000, which is under budget, but with that house is going to come with a lot
18:48of renovations to do.
18:49Yeah.
18:52Let's talk about the second house that we saw that had the amazing Bay View.
18:56It was gorgeous.
18:57I mean, that house was absolutely stunning.
19:00At $699, it was a bit over our budget.
19:02It has everything we asked for.
19:04Like, it is perfect.
19:06It's three bedrooms, big bedrooms, two bathrooms.
19:10That garage was huge.
19:12I mean, it's your dream to have a garage like that.
19:15But that 40-minute to and from work, you know, something to consider something that's a little
19:19bit closer.
19:20So if you want to maybe go over our pros and cons from the treehouse.
19:24I personally love how close that is to the city, but I do know there would be a lot of
19:28renovations to do in that house as well.
19:31And there was kind of that death trap of spiral staircase inside.
19:35Yeah, the spiral staircase is not ideal.
19:37With that house coming in at $639, it would be able to change the stairs immediately and
19:42then do everything else over time.
19:43I think I know which house I want to raise our son in.
19:47And I think I know which house I can see our family grow in.
19:50Okay, so we're doing it?
19:52We're doing it.
19:53Amazing.
19:57Wow, we are now the proud new owners of...
20:00The Treehouse!
20:02We're so excited.
20:03We knew it was our dream house when we saw it.
20:05We love the views.
20:07We love how close we are to the city.
20:09It's really just the perfect house for us.
20:11Yeah.
20:11The listing price was $639,000 and we actually came in asking.
20:16We wanted a quick closing and having the baby.
20:19We knew we needed a place to move in really quickly and get our lives going.
20:25We've gone to Ty's nursery set up and it's so beautiful.
20:29We're so happy to watch him grow up in that space.
20:32We take really long walks with the baby and it's been really great to get to know people
20:36in this community.
20:37And I ended up making friends with a neighbour directly across the road
20:42who owns a dock and has been so gracious to let me park the boat at his place.
20:48This is going to be a nice afternoon.
20:50Never thought that City Girl would be living with Country Boy and living in Nova Scotia,
20:56but it's not a hard place to land.
20:59To our first real house together.
21:00And to our little one who makes it feel like a home.
