Welcome to 77 Carleton Drive, a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded raised bungalow set on a private 0.68-acre double lot in the heart of Lake Echo's sought-after Pine Grove subdivision. Surrounded by mature trees, a stunning blossoming apple tree, wild blueberry and blackberry bushes, and abundant natural beauty, this property offers the perfect blend of comfort, efficiency, and outdoor living. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, the home has been professionally painted throughout and showcases a bright, functional layout designed for modern family living. One of the bedrooms has been cleverly converted into a home office complete with a convenient hidden roll-out bed, creating flexible space for guests, work, or hobbies. The fully finished lower level provides additional living space, highlighted by a mini-split heat pump in the rec room, while a second mini-split in the main living area ensures year-round comfort. Energy-conscious buyers will appreciate the impressive list of upgrades, including solar panels that will be paid off by the seller, a Level 2 EV charging station, updated windows, upgraded attic insulation, a 200-amp electrical service, and a newer roof. In fact, the home is so efficient that no oil has been used since 2022. Outside, the spacious backyard offers exceptional privacy and room to relax, entertain, or garden, while the wired shed provides excellent storage or workshop space. Friendly neighbours, nearby walking trails, and adjacent crown land contribute to the peaceful lifestyle this community is known for. Ideally located just 30 minutes from downtown Halifax and within walking distance to Bennett's Park, the local elementary school, and other community amenities, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the tranquility of country-style living while remaining connected to everything you need. Whether you're a first-time buyer, growing family, or downsizer seeking space and serenity, 77 Carleton Drive is ready for you!
