About this home

Inside the home

This 1956 brick bungalow on Herbert Street has been worked on room by room over the years, and it shows. The open-concept main floor puts the kitchen front and centre — dark cabinetry, granite counters, a gas range, and an island with bar seating that flows into the living area. The basement is the other standout: a finished rec room with a wood stove and bar, plus a genuinely impressive custom bathroom with a live-edge vanity, vessel sink, and glass shower. The backyard is where this property separates itself. A covered pergola with canvas shades, a live-edge outdoor bar, tropical plantings, and a 720 sq ft detached garage that functions as a full workshop. The lot is deep, fenced, and heavily landscaped. Three bedrooms fit within the compact 900 sq ft main floor, so sizing is tight upstairs. Buyers get a lot of outdoor and basement space in exchange.

  • Open concept kitchen with granite counters, dark cabinetry, and gas range
  • Renovated basement bathroom with live-edge vanity and glass shower
  • Extensively landscaped lot with mature trees and tropical plantings
  • Covered pergola patio with outdoor bar and dining area
  • Large detached garage approximately 720 sq ft, suitable as workshop
