Overview
Description
Every so often, a home comes to market that feels truly special — and 19 Canterbury Street is one of them. Set on one of Dartmouth’s most beloved tree-lined streets, opportunities here are rare. Those lucky enough to call Canterbury home tend to stay. This property has been lovingly cared for by the same family since 1989 — a testament to the comfort and joy it has provided. Thoughtfully updated and maintained over the years, the home balances its mid-century charm with modern comforts: composite shingle siding (2022), many new windows (2022), a new roof (2024), a natural gas furnace, cozy living room wood burning fireplace with elegant built-ins, ductless heat pumps (2023), and a beautifully appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Outside, a flat backyard blooms with perennial gardens, including wisteria. A show-stopping flowering dogwood welcomes you home each spring. Located within the sought-after Hawthorn School district, you’re just a short walk from downtown Dartmouth’s best dining, shopping, and local favourites. The Halifax-Dartmouth ferry puts the city at your doorstep — though life here feels a world apart. You’ll also be steps from parks, beaches, Lake Banook, Lake Micmac, Findlay Community Centre, and Sullivan’s Pond — where the famous geese will be ready to welcome you to the neighbourhood.
