5 Gladstone Avenue, Dartmouth, NS (MLS® 202609238): Welcome to 5 Gladstone Avenue, a wonderful family home located in the coveted Brightwood area of Dartmouth. Just a block away from the Brightwood Golf and Country Club, as well as Elementary, Junior and Senior High Schools. Your Halifax commute is only a five minute drive to the Macdonald bridge, or a 15 minute bike ride to the Alderney ferry terminal. The location, however, is merely a perk after seeing what the home has to offer. Nearly every part of this classic 1950s Dartmouth home has been thoughtfully updated while keeping its character intact. The original features including the hardwood floors, trimwork and exterior doors remain. Fresh painted “wainscoting” throughout gives depth and warmth to the space. A new forced air heat pump keeps the home comfortable all year long. The traditional floor plan on the main floor has been reworked to accommodate a more open concept and convenient living space. The wall has been removed between the kitchen and dining room providing more space for new cabinetry and an oversized island with lots of thoughtful storage. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a full bathroom with a walk-up to a finished attic space - perfect for kids to make their own. In the basement the space has been carefully designed to maximise its potential. An office and guest bedroom both with big, bright windows have been added - as well as a laundry/bathroom combo with shower. Outside to the rear there is a new deck with bench seating and a custom-built pergola - not to take away from the wonderful backyard of course. If this home sounds like it ticks a lot of boxes and you see yourself in the heart of Dartmouth with all it has to offer, you should come see it for yourself.
