Welcome to 18 McIntosh Road
A Spryfield Gem Waiting for Its Next Chapter
Located in the heart of Spryfield, Halifax NS, this two-storey, four-bedroom single family home sits on a rare, sizable ~6,280 sq ft R-2 zoned lot. With dimensions of ~75 ft by 77 ft by 76 ft by 74 ft, the lot’s generous footprint gives both breathing room and serious potential. Those who see the value in land, location, and opportunity will immediately recognize what this property offers.
The Big Picture – What’s Possible
Over recent years, Spryfield has quietly become one of Halifax’s rising stars. New construction homes are appearing more frequently, infill development is growing, and buyers are showing solid demand for housing that blends affordability with modern design. 18 McIntosh Rd is perfectly poised to ride that wave.
- Investment potential: With proper renovations, finishes, and layout improvements, this four-bedroom house can be transformed into a high value, move-in ready home.
- Builder / redevelopment potential: The R-2 zoning creates flexibility. Semi-detached units may be possible on subdivided lots, or a builder might reimagine the entire site. The lot is large enough to accommodate either an extension or a more ambitious redevelopment plan, subject to municipal approvals.
- Flipper’s dream: The bones are there. District location is solid; lot size is uncommon. Hard work and renovation investment could yield strong return.
The Features
- Structure: Two‐storey single family, four bedrooms. Plenty of space upstairs and down.
- Lot size & zoning: ~6,280 sq ft. R-2 zoning. Dimensions give options for side/backyard use, potential lot split or multi-unit.
- Condition: Needs extensive renovation — interior & exterior require attention.
- Neighborhood & growth: New builds are visible nearby. Spryfield is attracting interest. Close to amenities – shopping, schools, transit, recreation, plus proximity to Halifax core. Good road connections.
Why This Is Ripe for Opportunity
- Undervalued land + zoning gives leverage. Many comparable lots with modern homes are trading at much higher per square foot.
- Location: Spryfield offers a mix of community appeal (green spaces, quieter streets) and urban access – making it desirable.
- Rising market trends: Land scarcity, demand for modern formats (semi-detached, infill) in the Halifax region, increasing density, escalating property values.
- Equity upside: Whether you renovate as a whole or build in phases, potential for equity build is considerable. Especially if you deliver updated design, modern finishes, energy upgrades, etc.
Visualize Your Options
- Renovate the existing 4-bedroom home: modern open-concept kitchen, updated bathrooms, new flooring, energy-efficient windows. Sell high, or occupy.
- Subdivide or reconfigure lot (subject to approvals) to build semi-detached unit(s), or one new, larger home + accessory structure.
- Combine both: renovate part of the existing while selling or developing rest of lot, etc.
Location & Amenities
- Convenient access to transit, main roads, shopping districts.
- Nearby parks, schools, community facilities.
- Growing Spryfield area — neighbours upgrading, infill happening, new builds nearby raise comparables.
