Tucked just off the Halifax Peninsula in the sought-after Armdale neighbourhood, this warm and character-filled home offers a rare balance of a peaceful, almost country-like setting with the city on your doorstep. Nearby amenities abound: the Armdale Yacht Club, Regatta Point’s oceanside walking trails, Chocolate Lake recreation facilities, including tennis and basketball courts, a rec centre, and beach access to the city’s premiere swimming lake, a yoga studio, and local restaurants, this is a lifestyle location through and through. Set on an expansive, fully fenced double lot, the property offers exceptional outdoor space, whether you’re gardening, entertaining, or enjoying a quiet morning coffee on the porch. The additional parcel opens the door to future possibilities while enhancing privacy and green space today. Inside, the home blends timeless charm with thoughtful updates. The remodelled kitchen is both stylish and functional, with direct access to the BBQ deck. The main level flows comfortably between living and dining spaces, anchored by a cosy Vermont Castings woodstove that adds warmth and character on cooler evenings. A second living room offers the option of becoming a main floor bedroom with a full en suite bathroom, or keep it as a space to gather for family movie or game nights and entertaining. Upstairs, you’ll find three inviting bedrooms and a full bath. The layout offers versatility with the option for main floor laundry or a dedicated laundry area in the basement, whichever suits your lifestyle best. The lower level provides valuable bonus space, including a workshop area ideal for hobbyists, storage, or creative projects, plus a small attached garage. With its unique combination of location, land, and livability, this Armdale gem offers something increasingly hard to find: a peaceful retreat just minutes from the heart of Halifax.
