The Story of 1575 Henry Street

Happy Clients

Chris Perkins enjoyed every part of the process when selling 1575 Henry Street in the South End of Halifax.  Getting to know the owners was a real pleasure, as was learning about all of the work they put into the home over the years.  It was the perfect blend of old-world character combined with the modern conveniences we demand today.
