Here is a Handyman Special that is both insurable and mortgageable! This 2 bedroom home is located in one of the nicest neighbourhoods in Dartmouth - just a few steps away from Shubie Park, close to the Circumferential and overlooking Lake MicMac. At this price, first time homebuyers can start building equity. Every dollar you put into this property will pay you back double in value down the road. This 1118 square foot home has tons of charm with hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, arched doorways and a sunny loft area with views of the lake. The back of the property opens up to greenspace that can never be built on (owned by Dept. of Highways). A public path system a few doors over takes you to all amenities - public transit, Tim Hortons, shopping etc. The full concrete basement with heat pump and walk-out is perfectly set up to be finished to add extra living space. Several upgrades over the past few years: Ductless heat pumps, new roof, new furnace. You can move right into this cute little home and do repairs and updates along the way. This is a Power of Attorney sale (owner is in nursing home). Offers due by May 18th 6:00pm and left open until May 20th 6:00pm.
