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.

Main Level: Warmth, Space & Function

The main floor features a spacious living room accented by a bay window and propane fireplace. A renovated kitchen provides generous counter and cupboard space, complete with a peninsula breakfast bar with an adjacent formal dining area. A convenient powder room completes the main level.

Second Floor: Retreat & Relaxation

Upstairs, the primary suite offers ample storage and a bright, airy feel, complemented by a private three-piece ensuite. Two additional bedrooms, along with a versatile office or den with built-in bookshelves and a decorative original fireplace, provide flexible living options for families or professionals.

Loft Bonus: Space to Play or Create

The third level reveals a spacious loft with soaring vaulted ceilings, an ideal recreation space, and two unique loft-style rooms that offer endless possibilities for kids to play or for creative use.

Outdoor Living: Private & Practical

The exterior living space is equally inviting, with a newly renovated deck and a fully fenced, landscaped backyard offering privacy and plenty of room for outdoor enjoyment. A detached single-car garage and additional attic storage ensure practical functionality.
