Property Description

Are you willing to make this diamond in the rough shine bright again? Seeking a buyer with imagination and big toolbox. Someone willing to dig in and build some sweat equity in order to get an affordable home with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths and a 2 car garage in a great town. Sadly, the seller has been unable to keep up, maintain and update things in recent years, but now the potential is there for the right handy buyer with vision & energy who can see thru it all, give it some love, and create a new chapter. On the plus side - there is a good sized useable yard with a generous 285 feet of frontage, a working fireplace, a brand spanking new (Feb 2026) gas heating system and (seller believes) hardwood floors under the worn carpeting. Title 5 (4 bedroom system installed in 2002) has PASSED! A one year home warranty plan will be considered to help buyer's repair budget. Back yard abuts 25 acres of Chapter 61 preserved forest. Best single family home price in Halifax right now. No FHA or VA
