Property Description
Picture a summer morning with your coffee on the back deck, looking out over your own backyard oasis. At 1556 St. Margaret's Bay Road, the current owners have spent years shaping the yard into something special, with a patio area, several raised garden beds, and beautiful gardens throughout the property. Inside, this well-kept 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home is just as inviting. The kitchen's eating nook overlooks those same gardens, and the open concept living and dining room is filled with natural light from large windows. A half bath completes the main level. Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom with a separate tub and shower. The basement offers excellent storage and walkout access to the backyard. The home has been thoughtfully maintained and updated, including fresh paint, new heat pumps on each level (2024), a new oil tank (2026), added insulation, and improvements to the bathroom. All of this in Lakeside, just minutes from Bayer's Lake and the new BLT Community Centre, with an easy commute to downtown Halifax.
