Description

Welcome to 5870 West Street, a classic, character-filled detached home in the heart of Halifax. This location is hard to beat, boasting a walk score of 96 and being steps away from Halifax Commons, Agricola Street, Downtown and much more. Inside, there's 1,372 square feet spread over 2 levels, featuring 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. The main floor features a living room with a propane fireplace, dining room, half bath (with laundry) and the kitchen, which has a walkout to a fenced-in backyard with a recently updated, no-maintenance, two-tier deck. Moving upstairs along a beautifully preserved, original, hardwood staircase, you'll find 3 bedrooms and the main 4 piece bathroom. This home is chalked full with character including the original hardwood plank floors, hardwood staircase and exposed brick, all while being tastefully updated over the years and you're just steps away from some incredible restaurants and local favorite watering holes such as Studio East, Brasserie, Freehouse, Brownhound and so much more! There's plenty of permit parking on the street at $75/year and that gives you the flexibility of parking right out front or anywhere in the Central/North End core with the option for second yearly permit and temporary permits for guests (permit parking is only enforced 8am-4pm Monday to Friday). There's also the potential to rent an underground spot just steps away at the MacDonald Apartments.
