Description

48 Birch Street offers a well-kept bungalow on a mature lot in Salmon River, combining meaningful updates with a private yard and a detached garage with high ceilings. The location provides an easy balance of quiet residential living and quick access to Truro’s amenities, making it appealing to local move-up buyers, downsizers, and out-of-area purchasers looking for value and convenience. The home features two bedrooms and one and a half baths, with a spacious primary bedroom that was originally two separate rooms and opened up years ago to create a larger retreat. The main living area is bright and comfortable, anchored by a large picture window and a brick mantle that adds character to the space. Recent improvements include vinyl plank flooring, fresh interior paint, ductless heat pumps, a new electrical panel, and a fibreglass oil tank installed in 2021. The lower level adds a large rec room, offering flexible space for media, hobbies, or an additional living area. Outside, the property is designed for privacy and everyday use. The backyard is fully enclosed with a hemlock fence and framed by mature trees and shrubs, creating a sheltered outdoor setting. A double paved driveway leads to the detached garage with high ceilings and an attached carport, providing excellent storage, workshop potential, or covered parking. The home is within walking distance of Harmony Heights Elementary and the East Prince Street Mini Mart, and only minutes from Truro’s shops, services, and downtown amenities. Highway 2 is approximately six kilometres away, the Halifax Airport is about a forty-minute drive, and Halifax can be reached in roughly an hour. This combination of updates, privacy, and accessibility makes 48 Birch Street a strong option for buyers seeking a comfortable, move-in-ready home in a convenient location.
