Character and confidence, all in one home. Tucked on a lovely tree-lined street in Halifax's sought-after Rockingham neighbourhood, this 3+1 bedroom, 2-bath property sits on a private, fenced lot in the city with a cottage feel, all while the expensive work has already been done for you including: a recent metal roof upgrade, updated plumbing and electrical, a heat pump still under warranty, and a brand-new hot water tank. Inside, hardwood floors and a wood-insert fireplace warm the main level, where a flexible third bedroom works equally well as a dining room or home office, alongside a full bath. The kitchen opens onto a generous deck overlooking the private fenced backyard, great for kids, pets, or entertaining under mature trees. Upstairs, the primary suite features a large walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom with custom shower and soaker tub. The finished basement adds a fourth bedroom with its own walkout access to the backyard, perfect for guests, a teenager, a home office with private entry, or potential in-law suite, alongside a cozy media/theatre room, den, and dedicated storage and utility areas. Rockingham offers one of Halifax's most livable settings: leafy streets, a strong sense of community, and easy access to Rockingham Elementary School, parks, and green space, all just minutes from downtown, the Bedford Highway, and major commuter routes. It's the kind of neighbourhood that feels like a retreat while keeping the city within easy reach. Turn-key reliability, flexible living space, and a neighbourhood to match, 208 Donaldson Avenue is ready for its next owners.
