A Dartmouth Classic on Bayswater Road
Some homes are simply built differently. When this one went up, it was considered the very best Dartmouth had to offer, and Bayswater Road was the most prestigious address in town. Today it's still one of the most distinctive homes in the Nantucket subdivision, and for the first time in 27 years, it's ready for a new family to start making memories.
First Impressions
You'll know this one the moment you pull in. An exposed aggregate circular driveway, something you just don't see in this area, sweeps past manicured shrubs, Japanese maples and perennial gardens to a full brick front with arched garage doors and a covered, arched entry. Step under the wood-panelled porch ceiling, past the solid wood door with sidelights, and the tone is set.
A Grand Foyer
The tiled foyer opens to the showpiece of the home: a sweeping curved staircase with a polished wood rail, white spindles and a crystal chandelier hanging through its open centre. The staircase curves all the way up to a round second-floor landing with its own ceiling medallion and chandelier. Arched openings, crown moulding and a soft palette carry you from room to room.
Living and Dining
The living room (14'0" x 18'9") is bright and elegant, with hardwood floors, crown moulding and big windows on two sides that fill the space with natural light. It flows through an arched opening into the formal dining room (13'4" x 12'7"), finished with a crystal chandelier under a decorative ceiling medallion. French doors open to the deck, and a glass-panel French door leads to the kitchen, so hosting dinner is easy.
The Kitchen
The kitchen was built with the craftsmanship this home is known for and refreshed with newer granite countertops. White raised-panel cabinets run to the ceiling, with leaded glass doors on display cabinets, a peninsula, a cooktop, a built-in wall oven and microwave, and a stainless steel fridge. Windows over the sink and in the breakfast nook (7'7" x 13'7") look out over the treed backyard, the perfect spot for morning coffee.
The Family Room
Just off the kitchen, the family room (11'10" x 15'0") is where everyone ends up. A propane fireplace with a handmade brick hearth sits in the corner, with built-in shelving and a media unit beside it, and gleaming hardwood underfoot.
Main-Floor Convenience
Main-floor laundry with a laundry tub, a handy hobby or home office room, and a 2-piece powder room are tucked off the family room, with direct access to the double garage.
Upstairs Retreat
The primary suite (14'5" x 18'0") is a true place to unwind, with a wide bank of windows, a walk-in closet (7'0" x 9'3") and a spa-inspired ensuite with a jetted soaker tub, double vanity and separate shower. Three more bedrooms give the family plenty of room, and one works nicely as a home office. A main bath with double vanity and tub serves the bedrooms, and there's a sauna right on this level, a rare treat.
Walk-Out Lower Level
The walk-out lower level gives you real flexibility. There's a large recreation room (26'6" x 14'11") with a warm wood accent wall, a den (12'10" x 18'4") with hardwood floors, built-in cabinets and a mudroom area with its own door to the backyard, a fifth bedroom (14'1" x 12'7"), and a 2-piece bath. It's a great setup for teens, guests or extended family.
The Hidden Workshop
Under the garage is a space you won't find in most homes. This large room (20'8" x 25'8") has served as the family workshop for years, with the electrical already in place to run your tools, and a raised floor with storage underneath. It also houses the furnace room.
Outdoor Living
Out back, the deck was fully replaced in 2024 and stretches across the back of the home with a view over the gardens and treetops. Below, a covered patio opens to a big green yard edged with mature trees. The 15,000 sq. ft. lot gives you space, privacy and a lovely natural setting.
Bell Lake, Steps Away
This is the part families love most. The property has direct access to Bell Lake, so swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding are only steps from your back door. A trail to the lake is just steps away, and you can walk the trail around Bell Lake whenever you like. The Abenaki Aquatic Club is right on the lake, too.
The Neighbourhood
Nantucket is one of Dartmouth's most established and sought-after neighbourhoods, with quiet streets, mature trees and well-kept homes. You're close to schools, shopping, parks and recreation, with quick access to the rest of Dartmouth and Halifax.
Built to Last
Most of the home's original features are still in place, and the quality shows. The workmanship was the highest of its time: solid wood doors, hardwood floors, crown moulding, the curved staircase and full brick on the front. Some windows have been replaced over the years, the kitchen has newer granite counters, and the deck is brand new as of 2024. This home has been loved and cared for by the same family for 27 years.
