Keywords: Vintage Flat - 1864 Restoration - 2nd Floor
This 1864 Victorian 2nd floor flat at 5526 North Street sits on a block with designated heritage houses. The house, once a single family home was converted into two individual flats - one ground-floor and one second story flat in the 1950s. I purchased this dilapidated two-unit in 2004 and gutted and reconstructed it to its original beauty with the refinished Douglas Fir staircase and recreated moldings of 1864,
It lies in the heart of Halifax in the most sought after real estate on the Halifax Peninsula in the downtown core. Historic Properties, Universities, Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre, Halifax Commons, Canada Games Oval and Citadel Hill are minutes by car and are a twenty minute walk any day of the week. .
I have added outdoor space with a small urban backyard - sit under leafy trees, or enjoy a charcoal barbecue in the spring, summer and fall.
This accommodation comes with one master queen bedroom and two rooms with double beds and sleeps 4 comfortably. This Vintage flat has a custom eat-in kitchen with ambiance lighting and one bathroom with stackable washer and dryer.

This heritage flat has a relaxed feeling as a home away from home - comfy with everything you will need for your stay in Canada's best east coast city.. There is an added perennial outdoor green space in the back of the property.
You can use the small charcoal barbecue or read a book as sunlight is filtered through large shade trees all day long.

We stayed at this wonderful, newly renovated flat for 4 days and nights in early August. My family of 5 had plenty of room to spread out. The 3 bedrooms each have comfortable, queen sized beds. The modern kitchen is fully equipped and has many appliances. The lighting throughout the flat is great. The bathroom has a nice tub, shower and washer/dryer. Our teenagers were thrilled with the internet access we had to our laptop. The location is a little further from the action of Halifax than we had wanted. But the very short drive, and easy parking was totally do-able. On our 15 day trip, and out of the 9 different inns, hotels, cabins, and cottages that we stayed in, this flat was our favorite! We would definitely stay here again.
