Inside the home
This 1950s bungalow in Holmedale has seen real work done to it — new flooring throughout the main floor, a refreshed two-tone kitchen with gas range, and a finished basement that functions as a self-contained suite with its own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area. That basement setup is the most interesting feature here for buyers who want rental income or space for family. The main floor is compact at 731 square feet, and the original main bathroom hasn't been touched. The backyard is a genuine asset — fenced, deep, and shaded by mature trees, with a deck off the back of the house. No central air. Window units only. Factor that into your budget if you're buying.
- Updated main floor laminate throughout
- Two-tone kitchen with gas range and tile backsplash
- Basement suite with second kitchen and bathroom — rental or in-law potential
- Rear deck with access from two interior doors
- Fenced backyard with mature trees and good depth
- Long driveway with off-street parking for multiple vehicles
