Looking to get into the real estate market at an affordable price? Why rent when you can have a sweet little house set on a beautiful lot in picturesque Shad Bay - just 20 mins from Halifax on the way to Peggy’s Cove. 3783 Prospect Rd is the perfect starter home, cottage or great for those downsizing. It needs some work, but boasts a bright living room, eat-in kitchen, updated bathroom, 1 bedroom, plus a front sunroom and a versatile back room allowing space for an office/mud room/craft room, you decide. Leave the hustle and bustle of downtown Halifax and enjoy almost 1/2 an acre of your own. This is an estate sale and being conveyed "where is/as is", but some recent updates in 2022/2023 include kitchen, bathroom, electrical upgrade to 200amp, siding and now ready for you to continue to make it your own and finish the partially laid living room floor, etc. Roof is approximately 5-7 years. Multiple outbuildings for storage including a 20 x 30 building with a concrete floor (in need of a roof) - great garage/workshop/studio and a covered gazebo. Beautiful, sunny flat backyard. Only a few minute walk to the ocean and Coolen's beach, 4 mins drive to Granite Springs Golf Club, close to lots of hiking trails, amenities and only 20 mins to Bayer's Lake. Quick closing possible.
