Set in the heart of Woodland Park, one of Dartmouth’s most cherished and walkable neighbourhoods, this renovated character bungalow is surrounded by tree-lined streets, friendly neighbours, and easy access to parks, trails, swimming, skating, and downtown. Located within the Crichton Park School district, it’s a place where community truly matters. You’re welcomed by lush perennial gardens, a stylish steel roof (2016), and a charming red front door that sets the tone for what’s inside.

The spacious living room is anchored by a sunny bay window and a shiplap mantle and surround (2018) framing a cozy wood fireplace insert (2016).

The newly insulated lower level includes luxury vinyl flooring, pot lights, and walk-out access to the garage. Additional upgrades include two ductless heat pumps, an upgraded electrical panel, updated light fixtures, three new windows, a stone wall, and a widened, re-paved driveway. The backyard is a true highlight, with mature trees, layered gardens, play areas, wood storage, and a beautiful patio - private, peaceful, and full of life. This is more than a beautifully updated character home - it’s a place to put down roots, connect with your community, and find true belonging.
