Located within walking distance to major hospitals, the Grammar School, vibrant downtown, and the serene Point Pleasant Park, this estate offers the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. Whether you're drawn to its historical roots, spacious living areas, or prime location, this property offers a truly unique opportunity for Halifax south-end living.
