Inside the home
This 1947 Holmedale home has had serious work done. The main floor is the strongest part — wide-plank hardwood, crown moulding, a renovated kitchen with a large island and stainless appliances, and a dining room that actually fits a full table. The exterior has been updated with dark board-and-batten cladding and new windows that give it a current look without erasing the original brick character. The backyard is better than most in this price range. A timber-frame gazebo with hardtop roof sits on paver stones with a fire pit and seating area, all enclosed by new cedar fencing. It works as an outdoor room, not just a lawn. The finished basement adds a rec room and a half bath. Upstairs has three bedrooms with carpet and an updated full bathroom. The rear sunroom is functional but more basic than the rest of the house. The Grand River trail is a short walk away.
