Great location and place.

This was perfect for our three generations. Plenty of room to spread out and come together. Walking distance to anything in Halifax proper. Just two blocks or so from the boardwalk and another few up the hill to the Citadel and shopping. Halifax is a great town and we would definitely stay in this house again.
