Located on a quiet street in Halifax’s sought-after West End, 3188 Hemlock Street is a special home that has lovingly welcomed just two families over its 75-year history—and is now ready for its third. Set on a large, sunny lot with beautiful southwesterly exposure, this well-maintained two-unit property offers both character and opportunity. The main dwelling features a classic two-storey layout with thoughtful updates throughout. Hardwood floors run through a bright living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, while the adjacent dining area overlooks the backyard, creating a warm and inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen offers generous counter space, ample cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, you’ll find three well-sized bedrooms and a spacious full bathroom, with potential to add laundry if desired. The lower level includes a surprisingly bright one-bedroom suite with its own kitchen, living area, full bathroom, egress windows, and separate laundry—ideal for rental income, extended family, or a private guest space. Key updates include windows (2015), electrical, a roof approximately 15 years old, and a newer leased hot water tank. Heating is provided by hot water baseboards (oil) in the main home and electric baseboards in the lower unit, with a generator-connected sump pump offering added peace of mind. Just minutes from the Halifax Shopping Centre, major bus routes, grocery stores, and everyday amenities, the location provides convenient access on and off the Peninsula. Outside, the spacious yard is perfect for gardening, relaxing, or play, with two sheds offering excellent storage. A home with a rich past and plenty of future potential—ready to welcome its next chapter.
