Move-in ready and smartly updated, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home (816 sq. ft.) blends cozy comfort with efficient living. A bright, open living and dining area flows from a kitchen featuring a handy coffee bar—perfect for quick mornings and quiet evenings. Garden doors off the living room open to a private front patio, an ideal spot for relaxing or entertaining. Heating and efficiency are well covered: two ductless heat pumps installed in December 2024 provide year-round comfort, supplemented by an oil furnace. The basement was spray-foamed in 2025, the roof was re-shingled in 2022, and the hot-water tank is under 10 years old. Laundry is up to date too, with a 2025 dryer and 2024 washer. A standout feature is the double detached, insulated garage—an excellent workshop or hobby space—complete with both a wood stove and a pellet stove for flexible heat. Outside, enjoy low-maintenance living with room to personalize. Centrally located in Upper Musquodoboit—right across from the fire hall, with the grade school directly behind and a short walk to the grocery store and post office—this property is an excellent investment opportunity. Strong rental appeal, plus a second lot with additional rental potential, makes this a smart addition to any portfolio.
