00:01Surf, sand, waves, and tides for people all around the world.
00:06The coastal dream is just a move away.
00:13So we're going to do this.
00:15Think of how nice it will be to sit on a new deck and look at the ocean and sip a nice glass of wine and slow down for a change.
00:23Cheers to that.
00:23Cheers to that.
00:26I'm Lane.
00:27I'm Tristan.
00:28We've been together now for close to 10 years.
00:31I think we're ready to make the move to get out of the congested downtown.
00:35Then find our forever home on the water.
00:37Hopefully.
00:38Yeah.
00:39Tristan and I met online about 10 years ago.
00:42We went for Vietnamese food and I think you had your first pho.
00:45First pho, yes.
00:46We enjoyed the lunch.
00:48It was kind of, I was like, wow, he was a very handsome man.
00:51It's kind of worked ever since.
00:53I have two kids.
00:55Sam, who is going to be 16 in a few weeks.
00:58And Lucy, who just turned 19.
01:00The most amazing part about meeting Lane was that, you know, you don't just get one person.
01:05You actually get to meet three really wonderful people.
01:08We were very lucky to be able to grow up in rural Nova Scotia.
01:11I actually grew up in Chester, where boating is a way of life.
01:15I'm from Port Hawkesbury.
01:17My grandfather was a lobster fisherman.
01:19My uncles are lobster fishermen.
01:20It might be a reason why we click so well together.
01:23The ocean is in our blood and it's definitely something we want to get back to.
01:27We live in Halifax.
01:28Our business is running smooth after many years of working on it together.
01:32But we've decided that it's slow down the pace, get back to a rural setting.
01:36Chester's a pretty special place and it does offer more option for waterfront property or ocean dew, which is really what we're seeking.
01:44The wish list for the new house is ocean access.
01:47We've got to have three bedrooms at least.
01:48It's got to have, you know, an open kitchen.
01:50We entertain often.
01:52Tristan is a pretty accomplished cook.
01:55I enjoy what, let's call it the quintessential Chester house.
01:58Also, we really love privacy.
02:01If we can have trees around us, woods and a swimming pool.
02:05But again, I'd love the turnkey.
02:07I'd like to walk in the door and not even have to pick up a paintbrush.
02:11I think I've got enough going on in exterior projects now that we might be able to settle on a house that doesn't need work.
02:18But let's just say I don't want to have to get out of bed and go right into my work boots instead of my slippers.
02:23I think we'd be open to a little bit of gussying.
02:27We'll just see how it goes.
02:29Well, the budget for the house is $1.4 million and I kind of think we can get everything we want with that.
02:33So we're optimistic.
02:35We've probably been in six different locations in the past five years.
02:40I'd love for this to be our last move.
02:44Hopefully be our forever home.
02:45I think it's going to be a lot of fun.
02:48So our realtor, Susan, her mother and father are actually my godparents.
02:51So we've been very close since we were young.
02:53She's been a business partner in the past and now become a close friend.
02:58She reads us so well.
02:59She almost knows our house before we do.
03:01I'm pretty close to both Tristan and Lane.
03:04Tristan and I probably speak on the phone once a day.
03:07We have a lot of common interests, like especially in real estate.
03:10Lane is also real estate savvy.
03:12But he and I have more of like a fun-loving relationship.
03:15Today we are right in Chester.
03:22We're a stone's throw from the ocean.
03:24We're walkability to absolutely everything that is available in Chester.
03:31Hello, welcome.
03:32Hi there, how are you?
03:33I'm awesome.
03:34Not seeing any ocean.
03:36Bear with me.
03:37It's not turnkey.
03:38It's not on the water.
03:40However, I've seen this house a few times now.
03:42And every time I walk through it, all I can think about is what would Tristan and Lane do with this house?
03:49Today I'm taking Tristan and Lane to see a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home located right in the heart of Chester.
03:57There's 2,700 square feet of living space.
04:00The home is within walking distance of the ocean.
04:03It's well under their budget at $778,000.
04:09What are your first impressions?
04:11I think it's a canvas for sure.
04:13I see work.
04:13To be fair, I've never sold you guys anything turnkey.
04:16Fair enough.
04:18$778,000.
04:19That's healthy.
04:20Imagine what you guys could do with this property.
04:23I see a nice flat spot for a pool.
04:25Well, I was going to say, I mean, check out this yard.
04:28Right?
04:28The other thing about this property that I think is amazing is nobody knows it's here.
04:33Privacy is definitely on my list.
04:35You can get out of the hustle-bustle of it all, but again, you're like less than a block from your boat.
04:39Sure.
04:40So close to the golf course.
04:42Like, Sam could walk there in under five minutes.
04:44Right.
04:45Come on in.
04:45Let's go check it out.
04:45Sounds great.
04:49Lane, for you?
04:50Sure.
04:51Oh.
04:52Oh, look at the staircase.
04:53Very cool.
04:54Isn't it incredible?
04:55This is a massive entertaining space.
04:59Open concept living, dining.
05:01The kitchen does need updating to be up to your standards.
05:05For sure.
05:06But I'm really curious to know, what would you do here to transform this flow into the kitchen?
05:11This might scare Lane, but I was thinking if we could move that kitchen over here, structure's not going to be, you know, not going to be ripping walls apart.
05:18This is not structural.
05:19No, I don't think so.
05:20So you could blow that out completely.
05:22You know what else you could do to make this kitchen even bigger is that right behind here, that's the mudroom entrance from the garage.
05:29So you could probably even blow that out.
05:32I mean, I'm kind of thinking if we concentrate on this area being, let's call it almost like a large picturesque window that's going to kind of give us this look into a pool area.
05:40There's a nice deck out there.
05:41We might want to look at reorienting the entryway over here.
05:44And I don't think that would be too difficult to do.
05:46So now we're rearranging the kitchen.
05:48We're rearranging the entryway.
05:50We're adding a pool.
05:53I don't know, guys.
05:54I know it sounds like a lot.
05:55This reno seems to be really building.
05:57I think this kitchen's totally removable.
06:05And I think that we could really envision anything we want to envision to tie it into the house.
06:09I can feel myself once again living on the deck with the barbecue and my slippers.
06:14Okay, stick with me.
06:15Yeah.
06:15Let's go out.
06:16Let's check out this deck.
06:17It's an amazing exterior living space.
06:19Why don't you guys check it out first?
06:21I'll follow you out.
06:22Oh, lovely.
06:23There's an amazing garage over there.
06:25Oh, wow.
06:26It would be an easy turn into an additional outbuilding.
06:30Exactly.
06:30Party barn.
06:31Did you guys happen to get together before I came here and maybe plan this renovation ahead of me?
06:37Tristan did not put me up to this.
06:39No, right?
06:39Great minds think alike.
06:40This is true.
06:41So, come on back inside.
06:44We'll show you the rest of the house.
06:46On the main floor, you've got main level laundry.
06:48This is sort of like the bedroom wing.
06:51Sure.
06:51You've got three bedrooms on the main level.
06:53All are a good size.
06:55Full bathroom over here.
06:57And now this room would be considered to be the primary.
07:01Yeah, it's quite large.
07:02It does have a walk-through closet that goes to a powder room.
07:06Where this space is so compartmentalized from the rest of the house, I mean, we could live through a reno.
07:12I know Lane loves it when you say things like that.
07:14Keep talking.
07:14Live through the renovation.
07:15Keep talking.
07:16Yeah, right.
07:16Exactly.
07:17But he's not wrong.
07:18Come with me to this loft.
07:19It's absolutely incredible.
07:22You don't see a custom staircase like this very often.
07:25It's definitely a selling feature for me.
07:27Saved the best for last.
07:30Well, I mean, you were concerned about not being on the water.
07:33Some sand and shells on this floor and you're at the beach.
07:35You come up here and you've got your own primary.
07:39It's a suite.
07:40There's a walk-in closet and there's also an en suite.
07:44Looks to me like some more renovations.
07:46I can taste the drywall dust.
07:49It's a gut.
07:50I know.
07:51I'm really looking forward to getting out on the deck to see if maybe a water view.
07:55Let's check it out.
07:56I don't think this room's that bad myself.
07:58I don't think so either.
08:00I'm not seeing much water out here.
08:02I don't know about that.
08:03I'd say there's a veiled shimmer through those trees.
08:06I can see a shimmer.
08:09But could you guys picture yourselves having coffee out here on this private deck?
08:12I certainly can.
08:14Absolutely.
08:15What are the pros and cons of this property?
08:18It's definitely spacious and gives us lots of options for guests and entertaining and kids especially to have their own space.
08:25And a nice flat lot, there is opportunity for the pool that we mentioned.
08:29What about you?
08:30It is a newer house.
08:31It's a modern foundation.
08:32I mean, we'd be dealing with a structure that would be easy to build off of.
08:36And let's circle back to that.
08:37The price point is $778.
08:39So there is a lot of budget to work with there to turn this into exactly what you want.
08:46Still isn't my turnkey house that I'm really striving for, but it's still on the list.
08:51I do have another place in mind that I'd love to take you to.
08:54Wonderful.
08:55Thanks, Susan.
08:55Yeah, you're welcome.
08:56Today, we are in Marriott's Cove, which is a beautiful little coastal community.
09:09The reason that people love it here is because they get that space and private water access, but they're only minutes from Chester.
09:19Loving the gardens and kind of like a slate theme going on.
09:22It's certainly log.
09:23Log home.
09:24And a pool.
09:25Okay, now we're talking.
09:26Hey.
09:27Hi.
09:28What a great place to relax.
09:30Oh, my gosh.
09:31This is spectacular.
09:32This is beautiful.
09:33Really nice.
09:35The second house I'm taking Tristan and Lane to has four bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms.
09:41There is over 1,500 square feet of living space.
09:44It has ocean frontage and a pool.
09:47It's listed under budget at $1.1 million.
09:51First impressions of the home itself?
09:53The house definitely sits nicely with the pool.
09:56I'm not too familiar with log, but it's quite attractive.
10:00Ultimate privacy and direct ocean frontage.
10:03We're a little bit outside of the village.
10:06The walkability isn't great.
10:08Okay.
10:08You know, to get to the amenities of Chester, it is going to be a drive.
10:13That's where the price point comes in at $1.1 million.
10:16Okay.
10:17Let's go.
10:17You guys lead the way.
10:18Absolutely.
10:18Oh, wow.
10:26Wow.
10:26Look at that.
10:27All the wooden structure.
10:28Yeah.
10:29Doesn't it feel really cozy in here?
10:31Tristan, you have something to say.
10:33I'm a little bit concerned about the kitchen.
10:36It's not on the front of the house facing the water.
10:39I know where everybody's going to want to be in a house like this is going to leave me pretty lonely back here.
10:43If you wanted to expand the kitchen, maybe you could just go into the dining and then move the dining room to another space.
10:50But the cabinets themselves are very, very nice.
10:53I'm sure we could probably repurpose these.
10:55I'm sure we could repurpose most of what's in there.
10:57And what you've been dying to see, Lane, why we're really here is right out that window.
11:02I can see the water shimmering out there.
11:04And then, of course, you've got this great access door over to the front deck.
11:07Wow.
11:08Wow.
11:08God.
11:08Beautiful.
11:09It's a sneaky surprise, right?
11:15The view of the ocean certainly reassures the value of the property.
11:19When you come in the door and even in the driveway, you don't get to experience it right away.
11:24Which is almost a great feature.
11:26You know, people would arrive and not realize what's actually back here.
11:29And it worked for us.
11:30And then, of course, you come right along into this gorgeous living room.
11:34Oh, my goodness.
11:34The vaulted ceiling creates a larger space in here.
11:37More welcoming for sure.
11:38Massive picture window.
11:40So you just take it all in.
11:42You've really checked one of my major boxes with this one, Susan.
11:45As much as the exterior of the house doesn't seem to have that classic seaside Chester vibe
11:50that we're looking for with those architectural features, I'm definitely getting it on the inside.
11:55One thing I do notice is maybe no spot for a television.
11:59So there's actually a family room on this level.
12:02Oh, okay.
12:02And it's just over here.
12:03Oh, this is a wicked space.
12:05Very nice.
12:06As time goes on, you could use this room as a primary bedroom on the main level.
12:11Especially with the powder room being right here.
12:14Exactly.
12:14We might be able to incorporate.
12:15Great idea, Susan.
12:17Why don't you come upstairs with me?
12:18Sure.
12:19Yeah.
12:19Look forward.
12:20So upstairs, there's three bedrooms in total.
12:23Two are on one side.
12:25So perfect for Sam and Lucy to have their own space.
12:28Okay.
12:29The full bath is up here as well.
12:32It's nicely finished.
12:33It's cozy.
12:34A little tight.
12:35But I do love the tile work.
12:37My concern is we've got two teenagers.
12:40I don't think I'd ever see the bathroom.
12:41The primary bedroom is right over here.
12:45I love the ceilings.
12:46Oh, love the continuation of the vault.
12:49It just feels welcoming and airy.
12:51The square footage of yesterday was definitely attractive.
12:54Turnkey of this is attractive, but I'm really looking forward to seeing that waterfront.
12:58Let's go check it out.
12:58I didn't mean to hold out on you guys.
13:00This is unbelievable, Susan.
13:03Well, you've definitely taken us to the waterfront.
13:07That's for sure.
13:08Oh, look.
13:09The blue herring.
13:09Nice.
13:11Absolutely incredible.
13:13See, being a little bit further out, you've got all this privacy.
13:17And so you get to enjoy a lot of nature here.
13:20Wow.
13:20Well, Susan, you definitely found our waterfrontage ocean access.
13:25I'm really, really blown away by the natural setting.
13:28The drive out here was maybe a little much.
13:31That walkable feature in what we're looking for may make this one a bit difficult.
13:36But with the pool and the oceanfront, it's exactly what we were looking for.
13:41But it doesn't have a wharf.
13:42Because of the area, if you were to put a wharf in here, the return on that investment would be exceptional.
13:49Great point.
13:50I have another place in mind.
13:51Okay.
13:52There are some things that you're going to have to give up there as well.
13:55Okay.
13:55But I think it would be a great option.
13:57Wonderful.
13:57Really looking forward to seeing it.
14:04Today, we are in Chester's Back Harbour.
14:07It's a beautiful area with beautiful high-end luxury oceanfront homes.
14:12People go by boat to all of the amenities of the village.
14:15It also has great walkability to just about everything.
14:19Hi there.
14:20How are you?
14:20Hi, Susan.
14:21I'm doing great.
14:21How are you guys doing today?
14:23Excited.
14:23Excited about this.
14:24Chester Classic, white picket fence, cedar shakes.
14:28You couldn't get any closer to the ocean.
14:30I'm seeing it here for sure.
14:33The last home I'm taking Tristan and Lane to has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
14:38It's over 1,700 square feet of living space and is situated on Chester's Back Harbour with its own dock.
14:45It's listed at $1.3 million, which is close to the top of their budget.
14:51First impressions?
14:51Love the proximity to the water.
14:54The slate patio down below there looks just so welcoming.
14:57Very coveted area.
14:59Walkable to everything.
15:01You have to drive to the golf course, but Sam could bike there.
15:04Close enough for me.
15:05We might be able to go a lot of places by boat.
15:08And to my house for that matter.
15:10Let's go check it out.
15:10Come with me.
15:11That's awesome.
15:11Thanks, Susan.
15:11Nice to see it.
15:12So, Lane, as you notice, the beautiful flagstone path.
15:16Lovely.
15:17And it's like a little courtyard area here as you approach the door.
15:21You guys head in.
15:21I'll follow you.
15:22Oh, wow.
15:23Look at the floors.
15:24Amazing.
15:25Wow, these windows.
15:27Oh, my, my.
15:29Nice open concept.
15:30Can you imagine if we could just walk out onto that wharf with an unobstructed entrance there?
15:36I don't think it would be too difficult to get an entryway from this living room onto the extraordinary amount of space out on the deck.
15:44Lane doesn't even look scared yet.
15:46No.
15:46And then, you know, it glides right into the kitchen.
15:49Sure.
15:50The kitchen.
15:51We know you're going to renovate it.
15:54However, the space that we have to work with here, do you think that you can make something of this?
15:58I think there's something here to work with.
16:00So, there's a couple of bedrooms on the main level.
16:02Okay.
16:03There's also a Jack and Jill bathroom.
16:05Okay.
16:05So, full bath on this level as well.
16:07And then, the entire second level is primary suite.
16:10I like that separation.
16:12Head on up.
16:13Just right here with the ladder.
16:14That's amazing.
16:14Super cool.
16:15Oh, wow.
16:16Oh, my goodness.
16:17And a porthole.
16:21Wow, that's incredible.
16:24So, we continue to the prying area?
16:26Yeah, head on up.
16:27Oh, the vaulted ceilings.
16:29The view continues up here.
16:30And I don't know how much art you need on the wall when you've got this as your picture.
16:35Agreed.
16:35Really nice, bright, and open space.
16:38We don't have a door between us and the downstairs.
16:41I think that might be something of a little bit of concern.
16:43Disagree.
16:44And if we're going to be into a small renovation with the kitchen, we're getting up there in our budget.
16:48So, we definitely have to keep that in mind.
16:50Definitely.
16:51There is a full en suite as well up here.
16:54Head on in there.
16:55And the shower here, and look at the ceiling.
16:57This is incredible.
16:58And they take the vault right through the room.
17:00Like, isn't that cool?
17:01Super nice.
17:02Dual vanities.
17:03Now that we've seen all of the inside, let's head out to see what we're really here for.
17:08Super.
17:11Oh, wow.
17:14Oh, my.
17:15Tons of exterior living space.
17:16God, look at the view.
17:18Floating docks.
17:19This is incredible.
17:20How deep is the water here at the floating dock?
17:22You know, I'd say you probably have six feet at low tides.
17:25Okay.
17:26We don't need a pool if we've got a big pool right there.
17:29I could so see us out here on a hot summer night with a cool breeze.
17:33Friends pulling up by boat.
17:34Chester Life doesn't get much better than what this property offers.
17:38At a glance, I can see the lifestyle.
17:41The lot size is a little bit of a negative.
17:43It's not exactly turnkey, but it's really close.
17:46We're looking at a couple of projects there to make this work for us.
17:49You know, it is a little bit smaller than you were looking for.
17:52Maybe not as much privacy.
17:54But I guess ultimately, when you guys are looking at the other options, you need to decide what goals are most important to you.
18:01Sure.
18:01Maybe a margarita if you have time.
18:03I'll make the reservation and we can talk there.
18:05Cheers.
18:06Thanks, Susie.
18:12Are you excited?
18:13I'm feeling a little nervous.
18:14I'm excited and for selfish reasons, so happy that you're going to be in Chester more than part time.
18:21You showed us some spectacular properties and you're not making the decision easy, I'll tell you that.
18:26What did you think of the first house that we went to?
18:28Private potential has a lot of potential.
18:30You got 778, all of the things you guys could do with that house.
18:35That's right.
18:35It's a blank slate.
18:36$600,000 of a renovation budget.
18:39It seems to me we're going to renovate any of these houses.
18:42This one seems a little over-the-top renovation for me.
18:46Let's knock that one out.
18:47So right now it's between Cottage Cove and the Dockside.
18:50Cottage Cove was pretty special.
18:52That one was listed at $1.1 million.
18:55The interior, oh my golly, what a beautiful spot.
18:58It had all that charm, that pool, that entertaining space, the view.
19:03If we're going to be on the ocean, we want to have a boat and I think that's going to require-
19:06A dock at some point.
19:07Yeah, major expense.
19:08That 10-minute drive, a little bit out of town.
19:11It's not a killer for this property, but it is one of the things we're thinking about.
19:15So what about the last house, the dockside?
19:18I saw my boat sitting at that dock.
19:20It was on the water, and I mean on the water.
19:23Right.
19:23Walkability.
19:24For sure.
19:25For sure.
19:25Easy access to everything.
19:27So the list price on that one, $1.3 million.
19:29I get a little nervous with a kitchen change and to seclude off the upstairs bedroom.
19:34All these little upgrades at that $1.3 million, you know, bye-bye $1.4 million budget.
19:40I was a little bit concerned with the size of the house.
19:42I mean, we would be downsizing significantly from where we're at now.
19:45With this house, that privacy really disappears, so it's still a tough decision for me.
19:50At this point, it's kind of coming down to, like, privacy versus convenience.
19:54Sure.
19:55I think I know my decision.
19:57Oh.
19:58I'm kind of thinking I might know mine, too.
20:01Cheers!
20:01We said that.
20:08We bought the dockside!
20:11We're so excited here in Chester on the water.
20:14So it's listed at $1.3 million.
20:16Always got to shave a little bit off when there's a reno involved.
20:19I think we made a fair number.
20:20$1.265 million.
20:22Counter $1.275 million.
20:24We said yes.
20:26Well, we've been here for four weeks now,
20:28and it's just been such a nice change watching the boats go by.
20:33We can go to restaurants.
20:35Sam can get to the golf course easily on his bicycle.
20:38We've met some really great neighbors.
20:40Now learning the lifestyles of Chester, we're kind of tossing up in the air.
20:44Do we lean on a kitchen or do we go for the boat?
20:46Over easy.
20:47Okay, perfect.
20:48We've had some good meals here so far, so I mean, like, we'll be all right.
20:51It's really coming together for us here,
20:54and I think we've made the right choice, I think, without question.
20:57We couldn't be happier to leaving City Lights behind
21:00for sunsets in our future.
