Tucked away on a sweet, quiet stretch of Robie Street, this eclectic century home is packed with character. Think soaring ceilings, oversized windows, exposed brick, and all the charm that comes with a home that has evolved beautifully over time. Originally a five-bedroom family home, the space has been thoughtfully reimagined over the years to create a more open and customized layout. The upper level now features a massive primary retreat, a spacious main bath complete with glass shower and clawfoot tub, a wide landing, and flexible additional living space currently used as a music studio. Presently configured as two bedrooms, the layout could easily accommodate a third bedroom on the upper level if desired. The fully fenced backyard is something special - raised garden beds, loads of sunshine, and a fantastic elevated deck right off the kitchen, perfect for morning coffee and summer evenings with friends. The deck was added in 2021, while the fencing was updated in 2024, creating a private outdoor oasis in the heart of the city. Inside, the main floor delivers all the cozy vibes with a beautiful bay window, exposed brick, and a WETT-certified wood-burning fireplace installed in 2017. Designed to heat up to 2,000 square feet, it's complemented by two ductless heat pumps (one on each floor, installed in 2022), electric baseboard heat, and a 200-amp electrical upgrade completed in 2022. Additional updates include front windows replaced in 2012 and the creation of a charming wine cellar in the basement in 2021. The torch-on roof is approximately 15 years old. Just minutes from the Hydrostone Market, Richmond Yards, local cafés, breweries, and independent shops, you're right in the heart of one of Halifax's most beloved neighbourhoods. Funky. Charming. Full of soul.
