Inside the home
This 1918 Tudor in Holmedale is a genuine renovation project, not a cosmetic refresh. The kitchen ceiling is stripped to the joists, the upper bathroom has a new vanity and clawfoot tub sitting unwrapped but not yet installed, and the staircase needs fresh paint and refinishing. Anyone buying this should budget for finishing the work already underway. What makes it worth the effort: the bones are real. The arched front door, original banister, century-old built-ins, and hardwood floors throughout are all still here. The 2023 electrical rewire, new roof, furnace, and AC mean the expensive invisible work is done. The primary bedroom has been freshened with new flooring and is a strong room. The backyard offers a deck, flagstone patio, hot tub, and a detached garage with upgraded wiring — all usable now. The corner lot on Lincoln Avenue puts Grand River trails and Lincoln Square within walking distance.
