Inside the home
The real story here is the outbuildings. A fully equipped 18x24 detached workshop with its own 60-amp panel sits alongside a separate cedar storage barn — both functional, both rare on a standard city lot. That combination alone draws a specific buyer. The house itself is a well-kept bungalow with a rear addition that added a vaulted dining room and covered deck. The kitchen has white shaker cabinets and updated finishes; the en-suite got a more recent refresh with a vessel sink and dark wood vanity. The finished basement stands out for its barn-wood plank ceiling and generous rec room space. Major systems were addressed between 2015 and 2017 — roof, furnace, AC, electrical panel, and full sewer line replacement. The lot is flat, fenced, and large relative to its neighbours in Holmedale.
