About this property

Musician's East Coast Bungalow - 10 mins to Downtown

Welcome to my coastal/farmhouse-inspired East Coast bungalow, in the heart of Dartmouth. My home is newly renovated with many unique touches, including a 100-year-old grand piano, oversized dining table, and a kitchen with a wall-mounted TV. Located in a friendly residential neighbourhood, you are close to all amenities - just a 5-minute walk to transit and grocery stores. By car, you are 10 minutes to downtown Halifax, and just a few minutes from the highway to get you anywhere in the province.
Enjoy the oversized reclaimed-wood dining table, paired with a giant wooden clock. Sit down to play the 100-year-old grand piano, relax on the couch with backs that extend to give you even more room. Enjoy the unique kitchen - customized for gathering - that has a large TV mounted on the wall, viewable from the counter-height stools or the dining table. The house is complete with a back yard including a deck with ample outdoor seating and a BBQ. The front deck is brimming with summer flowers, comfortable seating, and a wooden pergola.
Two bedrooms (king, queen), full bath, kitchen, and main living areas are in the upper level. Third bedroom (queen) with half bath ensuite, and second living area with pull-out sofa are in the basement.
Guests access the entire main upper level of the home, except for the locked office. On the lower level, you can access the laundry room, living area, 3rd bedroom and en suite. This listing is my 70-year-old home where I live 6+ months each year; it is not a hotel.

Fun in Halifax

We were very happy there. The owner was very kind and let us in early and left us a bottle of very good cider.

This was indeed a 5 star experience as advertised. However, the warmth behind every minor detail made us seem more at home than expected so far away, thus lifting the already outstanding settings to the summit heights of any stay...

I’m so sorry to see your 6/10 rating. I wish I would have had the chance to meet your expectations better, but I didn’t hear any concerns from you during your stay. I aim to provide a comfortable stay for an affordable price, that matches the amenities and photos in the listing. Regretfully, this is my first rating that isn’t 10/10.

In a quiet residential neighborhood with easy access to attractions and stores. A nice home base to navigate areas surrounding Halifax. If you want the convenience of a city but without the noise to rest well after exploring the areas, this is a place highly recommended.

Hey! I'm Geordie! I'm a professional Canadian artist (singer, actor, pianist, writer, director) and producer.
Growing up on the East coast of Canada, I especially love traveling to other coastal places. As a performer, l occasionally need to travel for auditions, call-backs, and interviews. As a host, I love welcoming people to our beautiful part of the world here in Nova Scotia. This listing is my home where I live 6+ months each year; it is not a hotel.

Why they chose this property

I’ve lived in this neighborhood all my life - I grew up just down the street. It is quiet, friendly, walkable, and the location - close to downtown and close to the Circumferential Highway (111) - can’t be beat. By car: Downtown Halifax is less than 15 minutes away, Dartmouth Crossing (shopping / business park) is less than 10 minutes away, downtown Dartmouth is 10 minutes away, Banook Lake is 5 minutes away, Rainbow Haven Beach is 15 minutes away, Peggy’s Cove is 50 minutes away, Fisherman’s Cove (Eastern Passage) is 15 minutes away.

Enjoy the oversized reclaimed-wood dining table, paired with a giant wooden clock. Sit down to play the 100-year-old grand piano, relax on the couch with backs that extend to give you even more room. Enjoy the unique kitchen - customized for gathering - that has a large TV mounted on the wall, viewable from the counter-height stools or the dining table. The house is complete with a back yard including a deck with ample outdoor seating and a small BBQ grill.
Just added Spring 2022: large front deck and pergola.
