Cute Cozy Excellent Location DT Dartmouth

It’s a bit of an awkward space, but it’s got lots of character. Used to be a bank many years ago, then a music studio, now the main floor is split into two separate spaces, the front is an office space and the back is this two bedroom apartment! There’s still a giant safe in one of the bedrooms from when it was a bank (do not try to go in the safe). It’s a good home base for your travels, being in such a great central downtown Dartmouth location and close to Downtown Halifax.
