Description

Stylish, fully renovated, and affordable houses like this one - in central peninsular Halifax, are rare and highly sought after! This 12-unit brick heritage townhouse structure, built in the Gothic Revival style, is fondly referred to as “The Twelve Apostles.” Each apostle is characterized by exterior red brick construction, gothic gable dormers, sandstone sills, and matching enclosed front porches. The apostles have individual garden lots in front, rear courtyards, parking, and share a circular laneway/driveway. 2060 Brunswick Street is full of attractive character elements, including carefully exposed brick throughout, an exposed solid wood living room ceiling, original hardwood floors and staircase, and a patterned tin-ceiling in the kitchen. There are views of the harbor in the front bedroom, living room, and even from the garden. Tasteful modern updates include thermal pane windows throughout, a newly updated, contemporary bright and open kitchen, bathroom updates (including new fixtures and a newly tiled floor). Since purchasing in 2014, the electrical system was fully updated with a 200-amp electrical panel, all new wiring, and all plumbing lines were replaced. The heating system was upgraded with five warm and efficient Ecombi units (programable ceramic brick heating cabinets (ETS) that can take advantage of time-of-day rates and adjust automatically to outside temperature fluctuations). A cast iron wood stove was also added for heat and ambiance. Formerly known as Churchfield Barracks, this 12-unit building was built by the British Army in 1903. Located on Brunswick Street, it was named for the garrison church located nearby. Since it is a registered heritage property, it qualifies for annual grants for exterior improvements when needed. Centrally located to downtown Halifax and the North End arts and culture district, the Apostles provide for a vibrant place to call home. Hydrostone Academy (Shambala School)
