Built during the reign of Queen Victoria this home still commands appreciation and respect situated as it is in the family friendly neighborhood of central Halifax. Representing the very best of bygone craftsmanship and today’s necessary conveniences this modernized Victorian residence delivers sophisticated and welcoming living space both inside and out. Thru the main foyer and into the wide main hall you’ll find the living room hosting a fireplace with functional insert and likely its original tile which flows through to an expansive dining room with fireplace, this one decorative along with a wall of great built ins. A generous kitchen opens to another dining space and it enjoys a walk in pantry that also houses your main floor laundry. Check out the charming back entry you’ll use every day. There is also a well positioned powder room on the main floor. Upstairs the primary suite is a retreat worthy of retiring to each evening with a private bath providing heated floors and walk in closet waiting to keep you organized. 2 more bedrooms and another personality infused full bath will be found along with a delightful bonus space that has so many potential uses. While this house is mature the layout is bright and flowing owing in no small part to the high ceilings found throughout. The finishes are simply the best blend of now and then. A well-positioned stained-glass window, front and back staircases looking like they were built yesterday, commanding bay windows, classic moldings and trim all work well with tasteful renovations to the kitchen and baths. Outside is a private oasis, fully fenced with both green and deck space allowing for room to play, to garden or to do nothing at all. The detached garage is well placed for backyard access with the driveway situated on Black Street…just brilliant.
