Attention Investors, Contractors & Handy Buyers! Built in 1939, this two-storey home on St. Margaret’s Bay Road has potential but requires substantial work. A burst water pipe caused part of the kitchen ceiling to fall, and Halifax Water has shut off the water service. The property is being sold as-is, where-is. The layout includes two bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, a living room, dining room, and kitchen on the main level, plus a basement with a walkout. Please note: caution is necessary during viewings. Wearing a mask is recommended, and the back deck may be unsafe. The location, however, is excellent—minutes from the Armdale Roundabout, Chocolate Lake, great schools, and all amenities. This is not a home for the faint of heart, but for the right buyer, it’s a chance to create value in a prime Halifax location.
