One of the finest Victorian restorations in the cityyou will be impressed with the detailing from the curved walls, crown mouldings, copper sink in the Butler's Pantry, and flawless original plaster. Located in a prime South End Halifax location, this elegant home was built in 1891 by a prominent business and political family, in fact their first born later became the city mayor. The spacious front parlour is 30 feet in length, perfect for entertaining and has been used for private concerts. This room is highlighted by a center fireplace, both bay and box windows, and high ceilings. The separate dining room has space for a table to seat 10-12 comfortably and has lovely views of the gardens. The kitchen has been modernized to meet todays standards. A beautiful wide staircase takes you to the 2nd floor, and there is a maids staircase back down to the kitchen. There are 4 good size bedrooms upstairs, one is used as a home office; a 5th bedroom has been converted to a luxurious dressing room. The lower level is finished with a kitchen and bath and would make an ideal retreat for family movie nights or use as a family/guest suite. The perennial gardens are easily managed, and there is a gorgeous Victorian gazebo. The property is made up of 2 lots, each with its own PID. There is also a classic double garage, possibly the only hydrostone garage in the South End. 2020-05-28
