About 38 Newcastle Street
Blink and you might miss it! Location - check! Great price - check! Amazing neighbourhood and great schools - check! This is a rare find in the HRM market! This spacious, charming home in the highly sought-after Hawthorn school district is walking distance to the trendy local shops and restaturants of downtown Dartmouth, Sullivan's Pond, farmers market and a short commute by ferry, car, bike or even walk to downtown Halifax at an affordable price! Homes on this beautiful tree-lined street, where neighbours are still friendly with each other, are very rare to come by. Don't let the carpet fool you, it only hides and protects the beautiful original hardwood floors, which compliment the wood-burning fireplace. The hardwood staircase exhibits character and true craftsmanship. The main level also offers a formal dining room and a nice sized den, with lots of natural light, that would also make a great playroom or main level bedroom. The mudroom off of the kitchen means no muddy footprints inside. A unique find in this era of home is not only a main level half-bathroom, but quite possibly the most adorable powder room in the city! The large walk-out basement offers so much potential, which currently has a vintage rec room with water closet, laundry/utility room and large workshop/storage area. With ER-2 zoning it could be converted into a secondary suite, as this zoning allows for two dwellings. While this home needs some cosmetic updating, it has phenomenal potential. Roof shingles on house were replaced approximately 2012, updated electrical, new front doors, many windows have been updated while others retain the original wood charm. Great sweat equity opportunity as there is tremendous value in this neighbourhood. For the cherry on top, there is also has a detached, double, wired garage and spacious unfinished attic! The yard is large enough for kids or pets to enjoy playing, and is already partially fenced, yet is low maintenance. This is simply the perfect home!
