870 Young Avenue — Halifax, Nova Scotia

Commanding the southwest corner of Young Avenue and Atlantic Street, this historic South End home stands today as beautifully as it did over a century ago, a true Grand Dame with presence, scale, and enduring character. Original stained and leaded glass windows remain intact, casting coloured light across interiors rich with preserved architectural detail. Crown mouldings, intricate millwork, and a sweeping curved staircase speak to the craftsmanship of the era, while four fireplaces, each with their own decorative tile, anchor the principal rooms. The tiled entry, with its softly curved ceiling, offers a memorable introduction to what lies beyond. The main level is both grand and welcoming, with a spacious, flowing layout suited to formal entertaining and everyday living alike. Principal rooms open effortlessly to one another, while two separate entries lead to mature, private grounds and a south-facing deck, perfectly suited for summer gatherings. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms and two full baths offer comfortable family living, supported by ample storage. The third level adds exceptional versatility, currently arranged as a fully self-contained guest suite with its own entrance, kitchen, living and dining spaces, and multiple bedrooms, ideal for extended family, guests, or added income. The lower level offers additional rooms and flexibility, ready to adapt to a variety of needs. Set on over 5,500 square feet of living space, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Halifaxs architectural history, just steps to Point Pleasant Park, top schools, hospitals, universities, and downtown. A home to be experienced, timeless, significant, and truly special. (id:63357)
