Welcome to this timeless family home, nestled in the heart of Halifax’s sought-after Rockhaven community. Built in 1926, this charming residence beautifully blends historic character with modern comforts. From the original butler’s pantry and built-in ironing board cupboard in the kitchen to the sun-filled, bright interior, every corner of this home speaks to its rich history and thoughtful care. The main level features two spacious, sunny bedrooms separated by a full bathroom, creating the perfect space for family living. Upstairs, the serene primary loft suite awaits, complete with a cozy office/den, walk-in closets, and a stunning ensuite featuring the original clawfoot tub—a true oasis of relaxation. The dry, useable basement provides plenty of storage options, and the covered porch offers additional space underneath. Outdoors, you’ll enjoy seasonal views of the basin from the large, private backyard, which is perfect for entertaining. With a deck for BBQs and a firepit on the lower level, family gatherings will be unforgettable. Conveniently located within walking distance of Rockingham Elementary School, this home sits in a prime location. Recent updates include modern electrical and plumbing, new retaining walls for the stone driveway, a new roof (2013), a propane boiler (2017), and most windows and doors replaced in 2018. Freshly painted and professionally cleaned, this home is move-in ready and waiting to welcome its next family. This is more than just a house—it’s a piece of Halifax history, lovingly maintained and ready for new memories to be made. Don’t miss your chance to make it your own! PS.
