Inside the home
This is a legal two-unit backsplit with a city-certified second suite — the kind of property that appeals to buyers who want rental income to help carry the mortgage or a space for extended family. The upper unit is largely original from the 1960s-70s, with dark wood cabinetry, parquet floors, and dated fixtures throughout. The lower-level rec room and main bathroom are in the same era. The basement apartment is a different story — it was recently finished with new laminate flooring, fresh drywall, recessed lighting, and mirrored closet doors. The contrast between the two units is significant. The rear yard needs a serious cleanup before it becomes usable. Each unit has its own laundry, separate hydro meters, and 200-amp panels. Buyers should budget for upper unit cosmetic work to get both sides market-ready.
