Charming Bungalow with Major Updates. Tucked into the established Forest Hills area of Cole Harbour, this beautifully maintained bungalow offers four bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms in a smart, family-friendly layout. Three bedrooms up, plus a private fourth bedroom on the lower level, ideal for guests, a home office, or multigenerational living. The basement also features a 1/2 bathroom, a large rec room and workshop Comfort and efficiency were clearly a priority: siding insulation was upgraded to exceed R20, attic insulation increased to R60 with blown-in insulation, and an HRV system was installed to keep air quality fresh year-round. With its defined, separate living spaces, this home offers a sense of privacy and character that's increasingly hard to find; perfect for buyers who appreciate distinct living, dining, and family spaces. This home has been lovingly cared for and meaningfully upgraded over the years, with an updated kitchen (3 yrs ago), a completely renovated main bathroom, and beautiful hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas (added 4 yrs ago). All windows and doors were replaced approximately 10 years ago, and the heating system was upgraded to efficient forced-air propane. Forest Hills area of Cole Harbour is one of the Halifax area's most well-loved communities, known for its mature, tree-lined streets and easy access to everyday conveniences. Forest Hills offers that quiet, settled feel - the kind of street families put down roots on for decades, just like this home's current owner has. You're close to local schools, parks, shops, beaches, trails, and so much more. A wonderful opportunity to own a thoughtfully updated bungalow with decades of pride of ownership, in one of Cole Harbour's most established neighbourhoods.
