This distinguished 114-year-old character home was once among the area’s most prestigious residences, and it continues to showcase the timeless proportions and craftsmanship of its era. From the moment you enter, the soaring 11-foot ceilings and generous hallways create an immediate sense of elegance and space—features increasingly rare in today’s market. Sitting on one of the rare larger lots along Edward Street—an impressive 5,000 sq ft—the property offers both immediate functionality and future potential. Currently operating as a house-share, it provides 8 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 2 kitchens, benefiting from exceptional rental demand thanks to its prime location directly across from Dalhousie University. For investors, it represents a turnkey opportunity with consistent income and minimal vacancy risk. Beyond its present use, the true allure of this property lies in its potential. Its solid structure and historic character make it an ideal candidate for a thoughtful renovation into a remarkable South End residence. Alternatively, with ER-3 zoning, the property presents excellent potential for redevelopment into a high-performing rental or multi-unit project, subject to municipal approvals. Opportunities of this caliber—large, historic, and perfectly located—are exceedingly rare. Whether you are seeking a reliable investment in Halifax’s most desirable rental corridor or envision restoring a grand heritage home to its former glory, this South End property is ready to be reimagined.
