Welcome to 145 Rosedale Avenue - where warmth, space, and everyday convenience come together in the heart of Fairview. Perfectly positioned just minutes from downtown Halifax, this lovingly maintained 3+2 bedroom, 2 bathroom bungalow, framed by two red maples, offers the kind of space and flexibility growing families are searching for. Proudly cared for by the same family since 1999, this home carries a sense of ease and belonging from the moment you step inside. The main level features beautiful original hardwood floors, built-ins, and a thoughtfully renovated kitchen by Patty's - designed for gathering, everyday living, and everything in between. Three bright, well-proportioned bedrooms and an updated bathroom make this level both functional and inviting. Downstairs, you'll find incredible versatility - ideal for busy families needing room to grow. A spacious rec room, full bathroom, and two additional rooms (windows not meeting egress) create the perfect setup for a home office, guest space, playroom, or teen retreat, all anchored by ample storage, utility and laundry space. Enjoy peace of mind with a new roof (2021) and ductless heat pumps (7 years) for efficient heating and cooling. Outside, the home continues to deliver. A fully fenced backyard offers a safe and sunny place for kids and pets to play, while raised garden beds - already home to strawberries and asparagus - invite you to enjoy a slower, more connected way of living. The expansive back deck with gazebo is made for time well spent together. Additional exceptional offerings include a detached garage (roof, 2018), double-wide driveway with parking for up to five vehicles. Set within a community known for its strong sense of neighbourhood, proximity to schools, parks, and amenities, and quick access to downtown, Fairview continues to be one of Halifax's most sought-after areas for families and long-term value. This is more than a house, it's a place to feel truly at home.
