Nestled in Halifax's prestigious South End, this classic colonial style home offers the perfect blend of timeless character and thoughtful modern upgrades. Ideally located just steps from Dalhousie University, major hospitals, downtown Halifax, beautiful parks, the North West Arm, and the Waegwoltic Club, this is an opportunity to enjoy one of the city's most sought after neighbourhoods. Inside, you'll be welcomed by the warmth and charm of original hardwood floors, solid wood doors, and period fixtures that showcase the home's enduring character. The spacious layout features three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, including a generous primary retreat complete with a walk-in closet and private ensuite bath. Significant investments have been made to enhance comfort, efficiency, and long-term durability. Upgrades include attractive prefinished wood shingles, triple-glazed vinyl windows, a Steffes hyrdronic furnace, insulation, and new water and sewer service lines. The walkout basement provides excellent flexibility for storage, hobbies, or future development potential. Outside, the leafy lot offers a peaceful urban oasis with a naturalized backyard that blends beautifully into the surrounding landscape. An extra long detached garage provides ample space for parking, storage, or a workshop. Rich in character, thoughtfully maintained, and situated in an unbeatable location, this South End gem presents a lifestyle opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find.
