Truly a step above the rest! Character and charm abound in this Arts & Crafts style century home located on a quiet, leafy street in the West End. The main level living room is spacious and bright with a wood burning fireplace insert plus original Douglas Fir floors and built-ins which are carried throughout the home. An updated kitchen with ceramic backsplash and centre island is open to the dining room with built-in china cabinets, and a handy back entrance has pantry storage and access to the rear yard. Upstairs the sunny primary bedroom awaits, offering an abundance of storage and an attached ensuite with clawfoot soaking tub and in-floor heating, a real bonus for this type of home! 2 additional bedrooms and a second updated full bathroom with laundry complete the upper level. Spend evenings on your full-width covered front veranda or on the back deck overlooking the fenced yard. The detached wired garage has been converted to a gym and the property’s ER-3 zoning allows for backyard suite potential. Plenty of off-street parking in the private paved driveway, and the home has been updated to efficient Natural Gas heating. Fabulous location within walking distance of neighbourhood dining and shopping. A quintessential Halifax abode!
