About this home

Inside the home

This 1895 two-storey has been taken down to the studs and rebuilt. New vinyl siding, windows, roof, LVP flooring, kitchen, and both bathrooms — the renovation is comprehensive. The main floor runs open from the living area through to a white kitchen with a peninsula, then back to a large laundry room with its own yard entry. Upstairs has two proper bedrooms, a two-piece bath, and two additional bonus rooms including an attic space with a vaulted ceiling peak. Those rooms have sloped walls that limit furniture placement, but they add real square footage for offices or play areas. The backyard is deep and unlandscaped, with a new rear deck and an older shed. The lot backs toward the Shallow Creek Trail with no rear neighbours — a genuine draw on a city street.

  • Main-floor laundry with rear yard access
  • New front and rear decks
