Overview
Description
Some homes have a great location. Some homes have a great backyard. This one has both — and that changes everything. Set in one of Halifax's most walkable academic neighbourhoods, 1662 Walnut Street places you steps from Dalhousie University and minutes from some of the city's most trusted schools. Whether you're a professor heading to campus, a family planting roots near quality education, or a parent wanting to finally be close to your university student — this address quietly checks every box before you even open the front door. Inside, three well-proportioned bedrooms and a full bath upstairs offer a layout that lives beautifully — generous enough for a family, flexible enough for a home office, and comfortable enough to simply feel like home. Lovingly maintained by two Dalhousie professors for 28 years, this is a home that has been genuinely cared for. But step outside — and the conversation changes entirely. The showpiece of 1662 Walnut Street is its stunning private patio deck. Fully fenced and designed for real living, this is the outdoor space that Halifax homes rarely offer. Host unforgettable summer gatherings. Fire up the BBQ on warm evenings. Let the kids play freely in a safe, enclosed yard. Or simply claim a quiet corner of the deck with your morning coffee as the sun comes up — because you've earned it. Private. Spacious. Yours. In a city where outdoor space this good is hard to find, and a location this convenient is even harder — 1662 Walnut Street is a rare find.
