5642 Morris Street

Halifax – South

Located in the heart of historic Schmidtville, 5642 Morris St / 1290 Wright Ave is a rare find—a Scottish Georgian townhouse built in 1859, offering two separate living spaces. The main residence showcases soaring 11.5-ft ceilings, original woodwork, pocket doors, and 19th-century softwood floors. Unique details like the attic’s “Tomb Room,” painted by artist Michael Lewis, transport you to ancient Egypt, complete with a sarcophagus-style bathroom. The kitchen features international design touches, including Mexican tiles and Italian marble in a Roman-style bath with "Sicis" mosaics. The recently renovated basement suite, with its own private entrance, separate address, and electrical meter, offers in-floor heating, expansive windows, a clawfoot tub, and ample natural light—ideal for rental income or extended family living. Modern upgrades include updated wiring, plumbing, and efficient natural gas heating with cast iron radiators. A southwest-facing backyard, two-car driveway, and detached garage complete this exceptional property. Own a piece of Halifax history with modern income potential—book your private viewing today!
