About this home

Inside the home

This is a legal duplex in a solid century brick building — two self-contained 2-bedroom units, each with its own laundry, hydro meter, and updated kitchen and bathroom. The building has been genuinely worked on: new windows, updated roof, new on-demand hot water, and refreshed flooring throughout both units. Unit 1 on the main floor is currently occupied and has more character — original millwork details, tall ceilings, and a kitchen that opens to a dining area with wainscoting. Unit 2 on the upper floor is vacant and freshly finished, with an open kitchen-living layout and a sloped-ceiling bonus room on the top level. The rear deck needs work — boards are weathered and overdue for refinishing or replacement. The basement is full but unfinished. The backyard is spacious for this part of the city, with a wood privacy fence on one side and room for a garden or additional outdoor use.

  • Legal duplex with separate hydro meters
  • Each unit has in-suite laundry
  • Updated kitchens and bathrooms in both units
  • New on-demand hot water heater
  • Solid century brick exterior
  • Large rear yard with deck
  • Walking distance to Wilfrid Laurier University and downtown
