Charming 1920s Character Home in South End Halifax

Welcome to a beautiful character home in Halifax’s desirable South End, ideally located within walking distance of hospitals, universities, schools, and downtown. Originally built in 1920 by Kenneth H. Smith, Chief Engineer of the Nova Scotia Water Power Commission, this residence blends historic charm with thoughtful modern updates.

The striking curb appeal is enhanced by its classic 1920s architecture, inviting entryway, and original staircase framed by a stunning window that fills the space with natural light. Inside, the home offers nearly 3,000 square feet of living space across three levels, plus additional storage in the attic.
