This timeless Oversized Salt Box home offers the perfect blend of classic East Coast character and modern convenience. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Old Bedford neighborhood, it sits on an oversized lot surrounded by mature trees, offering privacy and year-round views of the Basin. The location is unbeatable, just steps from the Bedford Barrens Nature Trail and within walking distance of tennis and pickleball courts, an outdoor pool, the Bedford Yacht Club, and popular local spots like Issy’s Bagels, Propeller Brewing Co., and Golden Bakery. Commuting is easy with quick access to the Bedford Highway, major bus routes, and the future Halifax Ferry Terminal. Families will appreciate nearby English, French, immersion, and private schools. Inside, an all-season veranda opens into a spacious entrance hall. The main floor features a classic layout with a bright kitchen and dining room on one side and a hardwood-floored living room on the other, plus a full bath. Upstairs includes optional three or four bedrooms and/or two offices, ample closets, and a three-piece bathroom. The third floor offers a cozy fourth or fifth bedroom and a large flex space ideal for a family room or home office. The 900 sq. ft. basement includes a separate entrance, workshop area, utility room, and plenty of storage. Outside, enjoy a large wraparound deck, a charming playhouse, and under-veranda storage for garden tools and bikes. All outdoor windows have been upgraded, and the metal roof remains under warranty. This rare property combines natural beauty, community charm, and flexible living spaces, an ideal home for families, creatives, or anyone seeking a true East Coast lifestyle.
