Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity at 17 Lewis Street, a vacant 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offering generous square footage and outstanding flexibility. Whether you’re a family seeking extra space, an investor, or a buyer considering future development potential, this property checks many boxes. Located on a quiet, family-friendly cul-de-sac with no through traffic, the home offers a safe and peaceful setting. The surrounding neighbourhood features a balanced mix of owner-occupied homes and rentals, creating a well-established community feel. The area is also experiencing ongoing reinvestment and gentrification, with redevelopment already underway. A strong example of what can be achieved on a lot like this can be seen at 306 Spencer Ave, an approved four-plex, highlighting the long-term upside and transformation potential of the area. Zoned R-2P, the property presents an attractive opportunity to redevelop into a four-plex (variance may be required; buyer to verify with HRM) or to rent out in its current configuration, with previous rents approximately $900-$1000 per room. This creates the added benefit of generating rental income while holding the property to monitor potential future zoning changes that may allow for increased density within the area. The home has benefited from numerous upgrades over the years, including newer windows, heat pumps, updated kitchen and bathrooms, newer appliances, updated flooring throughout, electric heating, exterior siding, a newer deck, and a freshly painted interior. Ideally located close to transit, shopping, schools, and everyday amenities, this property is well positioned to appeal to both owner-occupants and future tenants alike. Whether your plan is to settle into a spacious family home, maximize rental income, or pursue redevelopment over time, 17 Lewis Street offers exceptional versatility and long-term potential. (Any future development must be verified with HRM via buyer or buyer's agent).
