The Halifax North End continues its trajectory as one of the city's most desirable investment hubs. We are pleased to present a rare opportunity to acquire a highly versatile property that combines strategic location, significant rental income potential, and valuable zoning—3666 Barrington Street.
This detached raised bungalow is positioned in a pivotal North End locale, minutes from the dynamic Halifax Harbour waterfront and vital educational institutions.
NSCC IT Campus Proximity: The property is a mere 18-minute walk or 3-minute drive from the NSCC IT Campus, providing a constant pool of high-quality student and faculty tenants. Proximity to major educational centres is a cornerstone of reliable investment rental demand.
North End Access: Enjoy immediate access to the burgeoning cultural, dining, and commercial scene of the North End, enhancing tenant appeal and ensuring future capital appreciation.
Commuter Convenience: Direct access to major thoroughfares and transit routes makes this an ideal home for professionals working downtown or elsewhere in HRM.
This is not a typical listing; it represents a generational opportunity. First time on the market since 1952, the home’s current configuration and zoning offer immediate value:
Valuable ER-3 Zoning: The property benefits from existing ER-3 Zoning, which specifically permits various housing types, including Two-Unit Dwelling (Duplex). This official designation minimizes conversion risk and maximizes the property's income potential immediately upon acquisition.
Immediate Mortgage Helper/Dual Income: The current layout features two distinct units:
Lower Unit: A fully enclosed in-law suite with a separate front entrance, complete with a living area, kitchenette, a bedroom, and full bathroom.
Upper Unit: A bright main unit with three bedrooms, a full bathroom, a large kitchen, and living room, accessed via a side entrance and back deck door.
Targeted Tenant Appeal: The two-unit setup caters to multiple markets: investors ready to rent both units, first-time buyers seeking a mortgage helper, or multi-generational families desiring both proximity and privacy.
Detached Structure: Offers greater appeal and privacy for tenants compared to semi-detached or row houses.
Ample Parking: Includes a valuable detached garage, a shed, and generous yard parking, a significant bonus in the urban North End.
Natural Light: Both units boast good natural light, a crucial feature for securing long-term, high-quality tenants.
3666 Barrington Street is a solid, long-term asset ready to be immediately leveraged for rental income in a high-demand market. This is a pragmatic, versatile investment opportunity that aligns with the strategic growth of the Halifax North End.
