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.
From Highway 102, take Exit 5A and follow Route 212 (Old Guysborough Road) east. At Elderbank, turn left onto Highway 357 and continue to Middle Musquodoboit. Stay straight as the road becomes Highway 224 and follow it through Middle Musquodoboit toward Upper Musquodoboit. The property at 8420 Highway 224 will be on the left.
