About this home

Inside the home

This is a solid older brick two-storey on a notably deep urban lot, with recent mechanical updates — roof and furnace both replaced in 2022, windows in 2025 — that take the biggest near-term costs off the table for the next owner. The interior is livable but dated. The kitchen has original late-1990s white cabinets and laminate counters. The single upstairs bathroom is functional but needs work. Main floor rooms are freshly painted with tile floors throughout; the second floor has original hardwood that cleans up well. The rear yard is the standout feature — unusually deep for the area, fully fenced, with room to add a deck or outbuilding. Currently tenanted. The main floor layout has historically been used as a four-bedroom configuration.

  • Solid red brick construction
  • New roof (2022) and furnace (2022)
  • New windows (2025)
  • Original hardwood floors on upper level
  • Flexible main floor layout with multiple rooms
