About this home

Inside the home

This 1895 home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt. New siding, windows, roof, LVP flooring, kitchen, two bathrooms, and both a front porch and rear deck — the renovation is thorough and recent. The kitchen runs open to the main living area with white shaker cabinets, subway tile, and a peninsula with bar seating. Main-floor laundry has its own room with a back door to the deck. Upstairs, two bedrooms plus two bonus rooms under the roofline give you real flexibility — the attic space alone is large enough to use as a primary bedroom. The backyard is deep with no rear neighbours, backing directly to the Shallow Creek Trail. The yard itself is unlandscaped, so budget for that work. Note that several interior photos are virtually staged — the actual rooms are vacant.

  • Updated kitchen with white shaker cabinets, subway tile backsplash, and quartz-style counters
  • Main-floor laundry with rear entry
