18 Martin Lake Drive, Lake Echo

Are you looking for a move-in ready affordable home close to the city? 18 Martin Lake Drive is it! This beautiful 4 bedroom, 2 full bathroom home sits on a large country lot and is ready for new owners. Just 12 minutes from Dartmouth and 20 minutes from Halifax, you can be anywhere quickly from your spacious home and lot. The lot has a great mix of plenty of flat yard as well as some natural treed space. Aerial views show a generous, mostly flat backyard framed by mature trees and a driveway along the side, offering privacy and plenty of outdoor room. So, tons of space for country living while being close to the city and all amenities. Entry is by way of a beautiful set of stairs and deck leading into the main level which is bathed in natural light and features attractive hardwood flooring throughout. The front stairs and deck feature white railings and provide a welcoming entry. Large windows flood the main level with light, and recessed pot‑lighting adds bright, even illumination. The open concept kitchen and dining area flow nicely to a large, bright living room. The kitchen offers natural wood‑tone cabinetry and light countertops with an easy‑care backsplash, keeping the space bright and functional. There is also a bedroom, full bathroom and a convenient spacious laundry room on this level. Decks on the front and off the back offer great opportunity for outdoor living space on the main floor. The front and rear decks both have stairs and railings, perfect for barbecues or morning coffee. Upstairs, there are two more bedrooms and another full bathroom. The large primary suite has an ample sized walk-in closet. The walk‑in closet includes built‑in shelving and hanging rods for excellent organization. The lower level adds even more finished living space with a walk-out at grade. This level features wide‑plank laminate flooring, recessed lighting, a comfortable rec room with seating area and large windows at grade that bring in natural light. Families will enjoy this level as it features a large rec room, 2nd kitchen, a 4th bedroom, a workshop and plenty of storage. The second kitchen includes cabinetry, countertop space and a tiled backsplash — a very practical setup for an in‑law suite or rental opportunity. Or, the walk-out and kitchen are a great start to a secondary or in-law suite. A full‑height walk‑out door leads directly to the backyard, making the lower level feel like an independent living area. How would you use this space? This home is away from the main road, but close enough to enjoy close proximity to local amenities like: the Orenda Canoe Club, the community centre, sports courts and fields, daycares, Shopping, Lake Echo Beach and Porters Lake Provincial Park.
