Property Details

Located in the heart of the peninsula and walking distance to everything, this gorgeous Victorian century home has all the modern updates you want with all the original character you'll love! As you enter through the classic Halifax storm porch, you're greeted by soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, substantial wood trim and the original staircase with an ornamental newel post and an elegant sweeping curve at the upper level. The living room has a large bay window and an efficient pellet stove fitted to the original coal hearth & mantel, flanked by custom floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. The real heart of the home opens to the back: a spacious kitchen/dining/relaxing space featuring a central granite island perfect for entertaining, gathering with family and cooking up a storm. This custom 2015 renovation features plenty of storage in pantries and deep drawers, in floor heat, plenty of workspace, lots of sitting room at the island, space for a separate dining table and a cozy reading nook, plus an amazing 4'x8' door to the backyard that allows the afternoon light to flow through the space. As well, the main level features a 3 piece bath with a charming clawfoot tub, a convenient storage closet in the hall and back stairs to the second level. Upstairs you'll find 4 bedrooms, high ceilings, original floors throughout, a full bath and a convenient laundry room. The basement offers excellent workshop space and lots of room for storage - a new floor and drainage system with warranties was just added last month! The private fenced backyard has a cedar deck, ground level patio, and requires little maintenance with lots of perennial plants and shrubs. There's a large parking space off the back lane and a wired 8'x17' shed with a rolling door, great for loading canoes/kayaks or bikes. Just steps from everywhere you want to be - the shops, bars & cafes of the Agricola district, the Commons for playing and skating at the Oval, grocery stores and a short walk to downtown!
