Welcome to 173 St. Margaret’s Bay Road. This rare 32,000+ sq. ft. parcel presents an exceptional development opportunity in a prime location. The property features an approved development agreement allowing the parcel to be subdivided into 5 separate lots. The approved plan accommodates the construction of a new luxury duplex, three townhouses, and the conversion of the existing garage into a detached backyard suite. Along with the existing beautiful historic over/under duplex, "The Craigmore," the approved plans yield a total of 8 units! "The Craigmore" provides valuable income from day one while you plan and execute your build. This development agreement predates HRM’s Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) initiatives, forward-thinking buyers have an exciting window to explore additional density potential as municipal planning guidelines continue to evolve.
