Nestled in the heart of the city, where every luxury and convenience is just moments away, stands the heritage-registered Cahill House, affectionately known as the Garden House. This exquisitely renovated residence effortlessly marries historical grandeur with contemporary elegance, creating a truly remarkable living experience. Upon entering, the vibrant pulse of the city is left behind as you will be greeted by floor-to-ceiling windows framing a serene private garden oasis. This south-facing microclimate features a winding slate chip path that guides you through a picturesque landscape of mature white birch trees, lush ornamental grasses, and flourishing perennials. The architecturally designed kitchen is the focal point, boasting a seamless floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall windows that blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Pristine white cabinetry topped with Carrera marble contrasts beautifully with a soapstone island, while brass fixtures and a Hollis+Morris pendant light add a refined touch. Every detail, from the custom waxed oak interiors to the heated ceramic tile flooring, has been meticulously curated to offer unparalleled comfort and style. The chef’s kitchen is complete with a La Cornue range and Thermador fridge, ensuring a culinary experience that is nothing short of extraordinary. The home’s layout flows effortlessly from the grand living and dining areas into the kitchen, where sunlight streams through the original windows, illuminating the space. Both the living and dining rooms feature original mantels, adding a touch of timeless elegance. Ascending the original staircase, you’ll discover three spacious bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed to offer a tranquil retreat. A versatile 4th bedroom space and a luxurious 4-piece bathroom, featuring a classic clawfoot tub and a heated towel rack, complete the upper level. The lower level is equally impressive, offering a finished space with repointed stone walls and a repoured concrete floor. With natural light, this area is perfect for a sophisticated family room, an artist’s studio, or a potential private income suite.

Education options spanning the levels from pre-primary through PhD are within walking distance including 3 private schools, a full French language school, a French immersion program, an International Baccalaureate program, and 3 universities.

As a bonus because The Cahill house is a heritage-registered property the Halifax Regional Municipality offers grant programs to assist with the cost of maintaining heritage properties.

Most of the windows have been replaced with Anderson windows, insulation added for comfort and energy efficiency.
