About this home

Welcome to 5 & 5A Marilyn Drive a totally vacant side-by-side duplex offered with a multitude of upgrades in Dartmouth. This property provides a practical layout for multi-generational living or a mortgage-helper configuration, with both units ready for immediate occupancy. Each side features 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a partially finished basement, and a private paved driveway for two vehicles. The property has undergone extensive upgrades. The electrical systems in both units were fully modernized in 2026 with new breaker panels, GFI plugs, switches, outlets, and modern light fixtures. A new chimney was also built from the ground up in 2026. Both units feature attractive, new luxury vinyl plank flooring (2026) across all three levels and fresh designer colour paint throughout (2026), plus fresh paint on the four exterior entrances. The main and upper levels feature vinyl windows, including four brand-new windows installed in 2026. The roof is 12 years old. Outside, the property provides separate yard spaces; one side is fully fenced, the other partially fenced. Unit 5A includes a storage shed. Power, heat, and water are separately metered for each unit, allowing utilities to be managed independently by the occupants. To add even more value, the property has ER-3 zoning therefore the potential to be subdivided into two separate lots/two separate units. (Buyer to confirm with HRM). This property is located on a very quiet street and so close to the fast developing and bustling Downtown Dartmouth core. See Features Sheet for full list of upgrades. (id:63626)
