Overview
Description
Located in the quiet village of Hopewell, this property offers solid potential for the right buyer. The home itself needs extensive updating, but the structure underneath is impressive with a newer poured concrete basement that provides a clean, dry, and solid foundation to build on. The main level offers about 720 square feet of living space including a spacious kitchen, two bedrooms, and a living area that is ready for redesign. The poured concrete basement stands out as one of the best features of the home. It is bright, has good ceiling height, and appears dry and well maintained. It includes updated utilities, a water system, and furnace setup, making it a great space for future development, storage, or a workshop. Outside, the home sits on a gently sloping lot surrounded by mature trees that offer privacy and a rural feel while still being only a short drive to Stellarton and New Glasgow. The property will need attention to areas such as the roof and exterior finishes, but the bones are here for someone ready to take on a rewarding project.
