5522 Bloomfield Street, Halifax Peninsula, NS B3K 1S8

Stylish traditional-modern duplex in the heart of central north-end Halifax. Built around 1892, this set of over-under-flats (2x 1-bedroom units) is perfect for an owner-occupied with income, an attractive wide-market rental investment, and students that would rather own than pay rent. Ground floor, spacious open-concept main unit has a cohesive feel, with softwood floors throughout. It has an updated kitchen with dishwasher, granite counter tops, and stainless-steel appliances. It is filled with natural light from windows and doors throughout the unit and is connected to the backyard. The bathroom area was completely rebuilt in 2017 from the foundation up, with all new plumbing, wiring, and fixtures. The bedroom is spacious with double closets allowing for ample storage and an office nook. There is a heat pump on the main floor and a washer & dryer with plenty of storage in the high-ceilinged basement. The backyard is a private lush garden oasis with mature trees and strategic landscaping. It is fully fenced, with generous multi-level terraced decks, which lends well for gardening and gatherings. The upstairs unit has consistent warmth and character with the downstairs, including original softwood floors, an updated open-concept kitchen with a custom-built bookcase island, granite countertop, and contemporary finishes. The bedroom has a glass garden door with a generous balcony, overlooking the south-facing backyards. Other updates (2015 & 2017) include metal roof, new electrical, plumbing, spray foam insulation, drywall and in-unit laundry. Both apartments have fixed-term leases that expire October 31st, 2024. With two power meters and electric heat, tenants are responsible for their own heat. Onsite parking for two cars completes the picture! (id:47423)
