Inside the home
This is a legal two-unit backsplit with two separate hydro meters, two 200-amp panels, and a city-certified second suite — the kind of setup that makes it viable as an owner-occupied income property or a straight rental. The two units are in very different shape. The basement apartment has been freshly renovated — new laminate floors, white walls, modern trim, and a washer/dryer combo. The upper unit is largely untouched since the 1970s: original dark wood kitchen cabinets, worn vinyl tile, parquet floors, and a dated bathroom. Buyers should budget for an upper unit update. The backyard needs significant cleanup — heavy brush along the rear fence line and debris throughout. The covered rear patio has potential but shows its age. Solid brick exterior and good lot size give this property a strong foundation to work with.
