A historical piece of real estate in Halifax that is listed as the childhood home of Viola Desmond has been conditionally sold.

The listing says the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home on Maynard Street is 鈥渢he childhood home of trailblazer, female entrepreneur and civil rights activist Viola Desmond鈥� and sits across from the former residence of boxer Delmore (Buddy) Daye.

Desmond was a successful Nova Scotia businesswoman who refused to leave a whites-only area of a movie theatre in 1946 and her court case was an inspiration for racial equality across Canada.

In 2018, the Bank of Canada issued a $10 note commemorating the social justice icon and featuring the North End of Halifax, where Desmond lived and worked.

The listing for the conditionally sold home, with an asking price of $350,000, says Desmond鈥檚 old residence is in need of restoration, including structural repairs and cosmetic upgrade.

The 1,552-square-foot home comes with antique, non-functional fireplaces in the living room and primary bedroom, and a walk-in closet.

The listing says the buyer and seller have reached an agreement on the property sale but certain conditions must be met for the deal to be binding.
