Property Description
Where History and Elegance Meet: A South-End Halifax Icon. Nestled on one of Halifaxs most coveted streets, this landmark estate is a rare offering of presence, pedigree, and timeless design. Set along iconic Young Avenue, which stretches gracefully to the gates of Point Pleasant Park, the home is as steeped in history as it is in elegance. Originally constructed in 1898 and thoughtfully renovated, the residence blends the enduring grace of the Victorian era with modern comfort and function. Once the home of Captain William Squares deCarteret of the famed Cable Ship Minia, its story is woven into the fabric of Halifaxs rich heritage. Inside, a grand central hall sets a sophisticated tone, original leaded glass windows, rich hardwoods, and finely crafted millwork are a quiet homage to another era. The main floor offers a collection of elegant and welcoming spaces: a formal living room with a marble fireplace, a generous dining room with a second, a classic office with its own fireplace, and a cozy family/playroom tucked away for casual living. The kitchen is both hardworking and refined, complete with a butlers pantry-perfect for entertaining or daily life. Upstairs, six beautifully proportioned bedrooms, three full baths, and a wide sunlit hallway offer a sense of calm and scale. Two separate, self-contained suites, each with private entrances, provide exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests, or income-generating potential. Alternatively, this grand residence could be thoughtfully reimagined as a singular, stately family home-restoring it to its original purpose, with all the grace and grandeur it so effortlessly holds. Within walking distance to Halifax Grammar School, hospitals, the boutiques and restaurants of downtown, and the coastal trails of Point Pleasant Park, this is South-End living at its most polished and prestigious. Classic, curated, and truly irreplaceable welcome to the elegance of another era, reimagined for today. (id:24570)
