Seller says BRING ME AN OFFER! Welcome to 42 Lodge Drive, where the peace of country living meets the convenience of city life. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Halifax's most established family neighbourhoods, this beautifully maintained home offers a rare blend of privacy, nature, and accessibility. Just steps from Hemlock Ravine Park and the iconic Heart-Shaped Pond, you'll enjoy scenic walking trails and a tranquil setting, while remaining minutes from Bedford, Clayton Park, downtown Halifax, Highway 102, the McKay Bridge, shopping, recreation, and excellent schools including Grosvenor-Wentworth Park Elementary. Set on a mature landscaped lot, the private backyard features a spacious composite deck with aluminum and glass railings overlooking the treed surroundings and a built-in irrigation system. Inside, the bright kitchen offers white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, updated appliances, and a dining area with direct access to the deck. Large windows fill the living room with natural light, while the electric fireplace creates a warm focal point. A spacious main-floor family room provides exceptional flexibility and could be reconfigured to create additional bedrooms, while a beautifully updated full bath with in-floor radiant heat completes the level. Upstairs, you'll find three generous bedrooms including an oversized primary retreat with dual closets and potential for a future ensuite. The fully finished lower level adds valuable living space with a large rec room, third bathroom, laundry area, and direct access to the oversized built-in garage. Recent upgrades include three ductless heat pumps, a whole-home Generac propane generator, 200-amp electrical service, roof shingles replaced in 2019, and a hot water heater in 2023. Located in a neighbourhood known for its unique homes, mature lots, low traffic, and strong sense of community, 42 Lodge Drive offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in Halifax.
