Inside the home
This 1885 two-storey sits on a corner lot in Eagle Place, about a ten-minute walk from the Grand River via the SC Johnson Trail. The 2016 renovation was thorough — kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, mechanical systems, trim, and exterior work were all addressed, which is uncommon for a house this age at this price point. The main floor flows well, with the front living room anchored by a gas fireplace connecting through to a large rear family room, dining area, and updated kitchen. The original staircase with its carved newel post was kept and refinished rather than replaced, which suits the house. Stained glass accents appear throughout, adding period character without feeling forced. The backyard has a covered deck off the kitchen and a large paver stone patio — usable outdoor space on a corner lot that gets good light. The basement is partial and unfinished, so total finished living area is what you see above grade.
