28 Carleton Street brings together three things buyers rarely find in one Dartmouth property: views of Halifax Harbour, flexible R-2 zoning, and a location close to Shearwater. Offered "as is, where is," this single family home is a strong opportunity for investors, renovators, multi-generational families, and military personnel looking for value and long-term potential. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom across 1,011 sq ft on a 17,000 sq ft lot. Its harbour views set it apart, adding everyday enjoyment for owners and lasting appeal for future tenants or buyers. R-2 (Two Family Residential) zoning gives the property real flexibility. It permits a single home, a semi-detached or duplex dwelling, or a basement apartment within a single unit dwelling. HRM's 2024 by-law changes allow up to four units per lot in serviced residential areas, opening the door to secondary or backyard suites and added rental income. The location is just as practical. The property is close to 12 Wing Shearwater, making it a natural fit for military families and personnel, and to the Shearwater Flyer Trail for walking and cycling. Schools, shopping, parks, and transit are nearby, with quick access to the bridges and downtown Halifax.
