Built in 1860, this Halifax classic sits proudly on picturesque, tree-lined Victoria Road and captivates from the very first glance. An elegant front staircase welcomes you home and sets the stage for the warmth and character found throughout this beautifully maintained four-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence. Inside, the inviting living room features a cast iron natural gas fireplace. A cozy focal point that flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, creating the perfect setting for intimate dinners and lively gatherings. At the rear of the home, a spacious wood deck offers ample room for outdoor seating, framed by a stunning ginkgo tree and foliage that provides a picturesque backdrop for relaxed evenings and long summer conversations around the natural gas fireplace as you bbq with the natural gas hook-up! The kitchen blends function and comfort with granite countertops, a natural gas range, and in-floor heating. A charming window seat adds both character and clever built-in storage. Upstairs, thoughtful heritage details continue, including the home’s original doors beautifully repurposed as the entrance to the main bath. Four well-appointed bedrooms offer flexibility for growing families, home offices, or creative spaces. A delightful upper-level sitting area, complete with a second cast iron natural gas fireplace, serves as an additional living space and could easily transition into a playroom, library, or cozy retreat. Recent updates include a new hot water tank (2024) and rolled roof (2018). Additionally, a central vaccuum makes it easy for cleaning! Park under the carport, or pay $80/year for permit parking on street! Ideally situated within walking distance to hospitals, universities, parks, excellent schools, cafés, restaurants, and shopping, this home offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience in one of Halifax’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.
