About this home

Inside the home

This yellow brick two-storey is set up as two self-contained units — a main floor two-bedroom with an updated kitchen, dark hardwood floors, and its own laundry in the basement, and an upper two-bedroom unit with in-suite stacked laundry and a separate entrance. Both units have independent hydro and water meters, which simplifies management significantly. The main floor is in better shape than the upper. The espresso-cabinet kitchen with stainless appliances and granite-look counters is a clear upgrade, and the hardwood floors are in good condition. The upper unit kitchen is older oak with white appliances and basic counters — functional but not updated. The mechanical room and laundry area in the basement are completely unfinished and show their age. The lot is deep with mature trees and a gravel parking area along the side. The deck off the back is usable. Furnace and AC were replaced in 2020, roof in 2018. A buyer looking to live in one unit and rent the other will find the bones are here — the upper unit kitchen will eventually need attention.

  • Two fully separate units each with independent hydro and water meters
  • Main floor kitchen updated with dark shaker cabinets and stainless appliances
  • Finished basement rec room with laminate flooring
  • Dark hardwood floors throughout main floor living areas and bedrooms
  • Deep lot with room for additional parking
  • Newer furnace and AC (2020), roof (2018)
  • Upper unit has in-suite laundry
