Overview
Description
*This Home Has Been Pre-Inspected* 150 Ponderosa Drive, Charming Lakeside Living in the Heart of Lake Echo, Nova Scotia Welcome to a home that feels like a breath of fresh air—set in the friendly, tight-knit community of Lake Echo, just a short 25-minute drive from downtown Halifax. This property is full of charm, functionality, and that classic feel you can’t replicate in new builds. Whether you're looking to escape the city hustle, embrace a slower pace, or put down roots somewhere that still feels like “neighbours wave to each other” kind of living—this is a place you’ll want to see. Upstairs, you'll find birch hardwood floors flowing through most of the main level, adding a warm and welcoming feel underfoot. The kitchen features birch shaker-style cabinets, with clean lines and natural tones that fit right in with the peaceful, woodsy vibe of the area. The windows and patio doors upstairs are tilt-and-turn, offering great cross-breezes on warm days and a touch of European flair that adds to the home’s personality. There’s more to this property than just good bones—it’s set up to make daily life easier and more enjoyable. The electrical panel has been upgraded to breakers, with a separate panel for the garage, plus a generator panel to keep essentials running in the event of a power outage. That’s peace of mind you’ll be thankful for during any kind of Atlantic weather. The garage is wired, ready for your tools, hobbies, or maybe even your dream workshop. And speaking of the future: solar panels are already in place to help offset your energy costs, along with a Level 2 EV charger, making this home a solid choice for those who value sustainability. The real magic, though, is what surrounds the home. Lake Echo offers a genuine sense of community that’s getting harder and harder to find. There’s a local community centre where events, programs, and gatherings bring people together.
