Welcome to Governors Lake Drive in Timberlea, where family living meets smart investing. This well-maintained over/under duplex is designed for homeowners who want the best of both worlds—a spacious home for themselves plus a brand-new, fully legal, self-contained rental unit to generate steady income. The newly completed walkout suite is the star of the show. With one bedroom, one bathroom, its own open-concept kitchen and dining area, private laundry, and separate entrance, this modern space is move-in ready for tenants, in-laws, or extended family. Legal, self-contained, and thoughtfully updated inside and out, it offers true peace of mind and financial flexibility. Upstairs, the main 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home provides all the space and comfort your family needs. An open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area is perfect for entertaining, and having all three bedrooms plus laundry on the same level makes daily living simple and convenient. With efficient heat pumps in both units and a location just minutes from Bayers Lake, major highways, swimming and kayaking just steps away from public lake access, the BLT trail and only 10 minutes to downtown Halifax, this property is the rare blend of lifestyle and income opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
