Property Description

Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. Backing directly on Point Pleasant Park and one of only twelve properties to do so, this extensively renovated home presents an outstanding combination of location and lifestyle in Halifax's prestigious South End. The home, displaying architectural styles of the post-war era, offers just over 2600 square feet of sun-filled living space. There are four bedrooms and three full bathrooms with quality upgrades throughout. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interior with natural light creating bright inviting spaces that feel spacious and connected to the surrounding landscape. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character to the main living area. Renovations to the kitchen complement the home's 1960s vibe while still including new appliances, quartz countertops and efficient storage well-suited to both every-day living and entertaining. Major upgrades completed include a replacement roof, insulated windows and doors, 200 amp service, a new electric boiler and solar panels which enhance overall energy efficiency. The extensive garden extends naturally integrating with the wilder forest edge of the park creating a peaceful and private setting. The property is located just steps from the ocean and in close proximity to Dalhousie University, Saint Mary's and several of Halifax's major hospitals. Nearby schools include the Halifax Grammar School, Armbrae Academy and École Mer et Monde. Subject to an area-wide restrictive covenant supporting single family use, the property forms part of a well-established residential enclave known for its stability, character and high amenity value. It's a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully updated 1960s architectural classic in one of Halifax's most desirable park-side settings.
