This is a rare opportunity to own a home in one of Halifax's most sought after locations. The unique character of this neighborhood, which includes Retreat Ave., Rosemount Ave., and Walton Drive, is most appealing, with lots of greenery, mature trees, large lots , gorgeous gardens, and the added bonus of having direct access to the beautiful Chain of Lakes Trail, where you can enjoy walking, biking and jogging. This bungalow style home has been modified from its original modest size. The addition gives the home a large primary bedroom, with a stunning ensuite featuring steam shower, jet tub, bidet and glass block wall feature. The living room boasts a large bay window and fireplace, the dining room overlooks the lush rear gardens, and the ceramic tiled sunroom off the kitchen is delightful. There is a second full bath, bedroom, and the room above the garage could be used as a 3rd bedroom, office or hobby area. The mud room and main floor laundry is off the carport. Lots of storage, with a walk up attic. Other highlights include gleaming hardwood floors, air conditioning, generator, garage, central vac, two large garden sheds, and alarm system. The location is super convenient, a short drive to downtown, major shopping within walking distance, quick access to Hwy 102, and a few blocks from Ashburn golf course. Estate Sale, "Schedule A - Annexe for Offer to Purchase" must accompany all offers.
