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. Situated just a stone's throw from the Northwest Arm and within easy walking distance of local shops, dining, parks, and trails, opportunities of this scale and flexibility are few and far between. Whether you are a builder ready to break ground or an investor seeking prime land with immediate income, 173 St. Margaret’s Bay Road is your next purchase!
