Dartmouth NS Home for Sale

A rare find, this original-owner, impeccably maintained home is located on a quiet cul-de-sac, with views of Oat Hill Lake. From the moment you step into the double-height, light filled entrance, you will feel at home. On the upper level, an airy living room opens onto a spacious open plan kitchen and dining room, complete with a large island perfect for food prep, crafts, or kids' homework, and all heated efficiently with a ductless heat pump. The family-friendly layout is completed with three well proportioned bedrooms and a large "cheat-suite" family bathroom. Downstairs is kept warm with in-floor heating, and a cozy wood stove in the family room. Here, the double doors feature privacy glass, giving flexibility for the room to double as a sleeping space for guests. That is, if you need it: there is also a fourth bedroom and full bathroom. Quality of construction shines throughout: hardwood & ceramic floors, elegant trim, great storage options, and thoughtfully placed electrical outlets just where you need them. The attached double garage is nothing short of amazing, featuring heated, epoxy-coated floors and loads of light. Your living area extends outside, where the multi-level deck is integrated into the landscape of the sunny, south facing backyard. Enjoy BBQing, relaxing on the built-in swing, or toasting marshmallows at the fire pit. No lawnmower is required here, where mature gardens are filled with low-maintenance perennials, productive raspberry & haskap berry bushes, rhubarb, and a sunny patch ideal for growing your own veggies. The location does not disappoint: Oathill Lake Park is just outside the door for swimming or paddling in summer, or skating in the winter. Plenty of options nearby for shopping, and just 30 minutes on foot or 5 by car to Downtown Dartmouth for shops, restaurants, and the ferry to Halifax. It really is the full package and not one to miss out on! (id:55598)
