Overview
Description
Welcome to The Pink House on Vernon Street, one of Halifax's most recognized and celebrated homes. Featured in Better Homes & Gardens, The Wall Street Journal, and Maclean's, this South End landmark has been meticulously renovated since 2021, blending modern luxury with the historic character that made it iconic. Set among mature trees and heritage architecture in one of the peninsula's most walkable neighborhoods, the home sits within a top school district and steps from downtown, universities, hospitals, and the city's best amenities. The result is a residence that is as rare in its location as it is in its quality. Inside, the main level opens into a warm, light-filled space with a thoughtfully curated palette of neutral tones and rich natural materials that feels both elevated and welcoming. Original trim, hand-poured glass windows, and cast iron radiators speak to the home's heritage, while the open-concept layout, oversized gas fireplace, and fully appointed kitchen and butler's pantry bring it fully into the present. Four upper-level bedrooms include a primary suite with 9.5-foot ceilings, a five-piece wet room en-suite, and a custom walk-in closet, plus a converted top-floor retreat with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. The fully finished lower level offers a self-contained in-law suite with heated floors, a separate entrance, two bedrooms, and its own laundry, ideal for extended family, guests or rental potential. Every finish, fixture, and system in this home has been replaced or upgraded since 2021, offering the peace of mind of new construction within one of Halifax's most storied addresses.
