Welcome to 153 Lakecrest Avenue, a truly special family home in the heart of Middle Sackville, Nova Scotia. Situated on an impressive 50,500 square foot flat lot in a quiet, wildlife-rich neighbourhood, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom split entry home offers the rare combination of rural peace and urban convenience. At 2,038 square feet of finished living space, with high-quality upgrades throughout and a long list of recent improvements, this property is move-in ready and built to last.
Few properties in the Halifax Regional Municipality offer this kind of space and privacy. The 50,500 sq ft lot is flat, easy to maintain, and beautifully landscaped with mature fruit and ornamental trees, perennial gardens, and privacy fencing that gives the backyard complete seclusion. Enjoy summer evenings by the firepit, entertain on the brand new 16×14 pressure-treated deck with glass panel railings and solar lighting, or simply relax in a yard that feels like your own private retreat.
The property is ideally located just minutes from Springfield Lake Beach Park, one of Middle Sackville’s most beloved natural amenities. The lake offers a public beach, boat launch, and swimming, with lifeguarded beach service in summer. Walking trails, cycling paths, and an abundance of wildlife are part of daily life in this established neighbourhood. Springfield Lake Recreation Centre is also nearby, providing year-round programming for residents of all ages.
Middle Sackville sits within the Halifax Regional Municipality and offers one of the best lifestyle combinations in the region: a peaceful, spacious suburban setting with fast access to everything. The property is just 8 kilometres from major shopping, banking, library services, and sports facilities in Lower Sackville. Highway 101 and Highway 102 are easily accessible, making commutes to Halifax, Dartmouth, and the broader province straightforward.
Within walking distance of the property, you will find convenience stores, a bakery, coffee shop, gas station, pharmacies, medical centre, dental services, an elementary school, restaurants, and various home-based businesses. Future development in the area may include a Costco location and a new Sobeys grocery store, adding further retail convenience to an already well-served community.
The area is a natural fit for first-time buyers, young couples, and growing families looking for more space than a typical Halifax or Dartmouth property can offer, at a price point that still makes sense. Move-up buyers from smaller homes in HRM will find the lot size, finished basement, and entertainment features particularly compelling.
Step inside and the quality of this home is immediately apparent. The main living area is bright and inviting, with a sun-drenched living room featuring large windows, oak hardwood flooring, and classic crown moulding. The open-concept flow leads naturally into the dining room, which is bathed in all-day sunlight through a large crank-out window. A patio door with a newly-installed glass insert opens directly onto the new deck, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.
The kitchen was fully upgraded in 2021 and strikes the right balance of style and function. Features include laminate countertops, ceramic subway tile backsplash, stainless steel double sink with updated taps, stainless steel stove, a dedicated coffee bar, and generous storage throughout. This is a kitchen that works hard for a busy family.
Three bedrooms are located on the main level, including the primary bedroom with beautiful oak hardwood flooring and a large double-door closet. The other two bedrooms have laminate flooring and spacious closets as well. The main level bathroom was freshly renovated in April 2026 and features a new laminate countertop, new sink and brushed gold taps, rainfall showerhead, new tub faucet, new towel bars, updated laminate flooring, and freshly painted ceiling and walls. It is clean, bright, and completely turnkey.
The lower level of this home is exceptional. The family room is a large, open, beautifully finished space renovated in 2024. A custom-built oak bar with wine fridge and sink anchors one end of the room. An electric fireplace creates warmth and ambiance, and three large windows flood the space with natural light. The brand new heat pump installed in December 2025 ensures efficient heating and cooling year-round. Stone-plastic composite flooring throughout is both durable and polished in appearance. A large closet with shelving currently serves as a pantry. This is a room built for entertaining, movie nights, and everyday family life.
The lower level bathroom was professionally renovated in 2024 and is a true spa-inspired retreat. It features a spacious walk-in shower, quartz-topped vanity, raised toilet with soft-close lid, and 8mm stone-plastic composite flooring. It is the kind of bathroom that feels like a hotel upgrade every single day.
The 4th bedroom on the lower level is bright and well-sized, with a large window and double-door closet, finished with the same high-quality flooring as the rest of the lower level.
The laundry and furnace room includes a 2025-installed sink and vanity with goose-neck tap ideal for pet washing, a July 2025 Maytag washer, a lightly-used dryer, and an indirect hot water heater installed in 2020. The boiler is serviced annually and operates at 86% efficiency.
The exterior of this property is as impressive as the interior. The house received new asphalt shingles in October 2025. The double-wide gravel driveway provides ample parking. The new deck off the dining room is a highlight: 16 by 14 feet of pressure-treated wood construction, with glass panel railings and solar lights, it is built to enjoy for years to come. A firepit seating area adds a further outdoor living dimension.
Storage is exceptional. A 14×21 vinyl-sided shed with loft and metal roll-up door has new shingles (2024) and provides workshop or large equipment storage. A second 8×8 vinyl garden shed with power is perfect for tools and garden supplies. Concrete stone walkway. Concrete stone walkway completes the polished exterior presentation.
