Step inside this three-bedroom, 1.1-bath semi-detached residence — quite rare at this price point in Halifax. On the main level you’ll find a living room soaking in daylight, enhanced by gleaming hardwood floors that set an inviting tone. The eat-in kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, fridge, stove and dishwasher—ready for your everyday meals or entertaining friends.
Move upstairs to discover three well-proportioned bedrooms and a recently renovated full bathroom. The thoughtful update upstairs gives you a modern, comfortable space that won’t require immediate work.
Head downstairs to the basement: the rec room presents a clean, open canvas. With flooring still to be installed, you have the flexibility to personalize it—whether you envision a home office, workout area, media lounge or guest accommodation.
Outside the home’s curb appeal continues with a partially fenced backyard framed by mature trees and shrubs. This private outdoor retreat is ideal for pets, summer BBQs, container gardening or simply unwinding after a day’s work. A storage shed is included, offering space for tools, bikes or seasonal gear.
Notably, the home’s heating infrastructure was upgraded in July 2025 to a brand new propane system—an investment that ensures reliability, efficiency and peace of mind for the next owner.
