12 Arthur Street

This is a really sweet home, not overstated in any way, but lovely and functional while packing one heck of a view of the Halifax waterfront. The home is a classic 2 storey with a number of bonuses that help create a special living environment. Set nicely on a rolling landscaped lot, it takes full advantage of the water and skyline views. Inside, there is a surprising amount of flexibility in the design. A wraparound sunroom creates a quiet place to sit away from the main part of the home, while also acting as an extended front entry, ideal for coming inside before stepping into the main living areas. Once inside, the standout is the family room, with sweeping views, generous proportions, a woodstove for the colder months and cool housewide air conditioning during the summer. The front living room adds a second gathering area on the main floor, giving the home a flexibility that is hard to find in this style. The corner kitchen is practically designed with ample solid oak cabinetry and granite countertops, offering plenty of workspace and storage. A tucked away half bath and main floor laundry add to the functionality. Upstairs, the full bath has been nicely updated. The second bedroom is surprisingly spacious, while the primary bedroom is one of the largest I've seen in this style of home. The basement is unfinished and best suited for storage or utility use rather than additional living area. Speaking of storage, another major bonus is the double car garage. Fully powered and heated with two bays, the water side also features a full suite of windows that could create a really interesting studio or work from home environment. Comfortable, practical and full of personality, this home is a joy with a view that steals the show, every day!
