Where Eastern Passage meets Cow Bay! In this quaint seaside community, civic 688 Cow Bay Road is conveniently set back away from the main road hustle, nestled on a mature side street (Patricia Road). Red brick driveway pavers fill the multi car driveway leading you to the detached garage (wired) and home, creating a "courtyard" feel to this charming 12,000 sq ft lot. Well loved by one family for many years, this home offers a spacious main level layout boasting tonnes of natural light. The cozy living room greets you with warmth from the large sun filled window while overlooking the front red brick "courtyard". Flow effortlessly to the family style eat-in kitchen, where you will find ample space to host holiday dinners, or perhaps sept out to your private back deck from the adjacent mudroom to BBQ with convenient access to the back yard and garden shed. A comfortable primary bedroom, a good size second bedroom and a full bath complete this level. Access the lower level through a separate exterior walk-out entry (lower level is not a HRM approved second unit). Here you will find the current floor plan includes kitchen/living space, two rooms previously used as bedrooms (windows do not meet egress), a second full bath as well as the utility room for the home. Although the property is in need of some TLC, this may be the perfect opportunity for the investor or handy Buyer to update and make it your own. Don't miss your chance to own this sweet property close to amenities for light shopping & dining, public transit, pristine beaches & walking trails and of course, for the golf enthusiasts, Hartlen Point Golf Course. Shearwater Military base just minutes away and a short drive will take you to Cole Harbour and Dartmouth, Downtown Halifax and Halifax Stanfield International Airport approximate 30 minute drive.
