Description

Few homes offer such a thoughtful balance of character, comfort, and possibility. While the undeniable charm of this 1940s-era Cape Cod remains wonderfully intact, many big-ticket items have already been taken care of by its current owners, including a new oil tank (2025), new roof and chimney (2023), ductless heat pump (2020), and a new septic system (2019). The main level features a country kitchen with walk-in pantry, dedicated dining room, cozy living room complete with a WETT-certified wood stove, powder room, and two more versatile living spaces. Whether you need a studio space with lots of natural light, a playroom for the kids, or something entirely your own, this home is ready to adapt to your family's unique needs. Flexible zoning and parking for multiple vehicles also offer exciting potential for those dreaming of a home-based business. Along with three bedrooms and a full bath, upstairs you'll find a cozy landing tucked beneath the dormer window - the perfect reading nook, crafting corner, or quiet spot to work from home. The unfinished basement offers lots of storage and workspace potential with convenient walkout access to the driveway. Set on a lot surrounded by trees, this unique property captures the feeling of a tucked-away homestead - with room for gardens, swing sets, backyard chickens, and campfires - all while remaining remarkably close to everyday conveniences. Groceries, schools, restaurants, and local favourites like the Bike & Bean Cafe, Otis & Clementine Bookstore, and Jerry Lawrence Park are all just minutes away. With easy highway access and some of Nova Scotia's most beautiful beaches and natural attractions just around the corner, this location balances community connection with a sense of privacy and room to breathe. Loved by its current owners and ready for someone new to carry the story forward, 4909 St. Margarets Bay Road is ready for its next chapter. Book your showing today!
