Description

Prestigious South End Century Home - Steps from Dalhousie University Welcome to 1577-1579 Vernon Street, a rare offering in one of Nova Scotia's most coveted locations. Situated across the street from Dalhousie University, this grand century home blends timeless character with unmatched convenience. Set among mature trees on a quiet, highly sought-after street, this expansive property offers 8 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms across two large legal units. With soaring ceilings, detailed woodwork, and architectural charm throughout, the home has amazing bones and endless potential. Currently configured as two spacious units, the property offers flexibility: - Keep one unit for yourself while generating income from the other. - Continue as a proven income property with tremendous rental demand year after year. - Or, with minimal change, return it to a stunning single-family home of rare size and stature in Halifax's South End. Additional highlights include: - Prime location steps from Dalhousie and walking distance to other Halifax universities, hospitals, top-ranked schools, shopping, public transit, restaurants, and downtown Halifax. - Strong rental history with fixed-term leases currently in place. - Off-street parking for multiple vehicles. There is a large space behind the house that should offer ample room for a backyard suite (buyer to verify). - Two full sets of appliances. - Surrounded by some of the city's most desirable residential streets. While the property shows some wear from years of student tenancy, the fundamentals are rock-solid. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a landmark home in one of the province's most in-demand neighbourhoods.
