A VICTORIAN WITH A CARRIAGE HOUSE IN SOUTH HALIFAX

$2.35 MILLION (2.99 MILLION CANADIAN DOLLARS)

This three-story, cedar-shingled Victorian is in the South End district of Halifax, Nova Scotia, on Canada’s east coast. The late-1890s house is among a dwindling number of grand mansions that lined one of this port city’s most prestigious thoroughfares. It is near several universities and a quick stroll from the 185-acre Point Pleasant Park.

The home, on about a third of an acre, has 7,659 square feet of space and a 3,000-square-foot finished basement, for a total of nine bedrooms and five full and one half bathrooms. Just behind the structure, and included in the sale, is a 1,100-square-foot carriage house, with two more bedrooms, a full bath and a deck that holds a small aboveground pool.

The house also has a rich history, said Ethan Michaels of Bryant Realty Atlantic, which has the listing. It was designed by J.C. Dumaresq, a noted Canadian architect at the turn of the last century, and built for the owner of an insurance company and his wife. It had several other owners before becoming vacant in the late 1930s and, at one time, was a boardinghouse.

The current owner, whose family had purchased the home in 1974, undertook a major restoration and renovation several years ago, adding, among other things, modern conveniences and outdoor decks, Mr. Michaels said. He noted that many original architectural details remain, like the oak floors, crystal glass windows, crown moldings and intricate wood detail throughout. “It’s a traditional house with a modern flair,” Mr. Michaels said.
