There are five bedrooms and four bathrooms in this 3,936-square-foot house.
It was built all the way back in 1905 by Sir Frederick Fraser. He was a journalist and philanthropist who established the Halifax School for the Blind.
He also made sure that blind people in Nova Scotia got a free education.
While the house has an old-timey feel, it's pretty modernized.
Off the back of the home, there's a porch that goes down to a luscious backyard with lots of greenery.
Beyond that is a stone path that leads to a heated inground swimming pool because sometimes you need a pool even when you're right along the water.
There is also space on the side to sunbathe and look out at the waters of the Bedford Basin.
Along the edge of the property is a fence with glass panels so that the view of the water is unobstructed.
The property has 100 feet of frontage on the basin and the water goes 200 feet deep which is good for anyone who boats.
