Looking for the character and space of an older home, but don’t want to take on a major renovation? This handsome red brick home in a mature, historic neighbourhood may be exactly what you’ve been waiting for. From the covered front porch to the high ceilings, French doors, hardwood floors with inlaid borders and decorative plaster ceilings, this is a home with personality that you simply don’t get in newer construction. Just as importantly, it has been well cared for and thoughtfully updated over the years. The kitchen has been modernized with stainless steel appliances, the main bathroom has been recently updated, and you’ll find fresh paint and carpeting throughout. Behind the scenes, significant improvements including a steel roof, upgraded attic insulation, spray foam insulation in the finished basement, updated windows, furnace and central air add to the confidence of buying a well-maintained older home. There’s plenty of room to actually live here. The main floor offers comfortable living and dining spaces, the modern kitchen and a convenient powder room. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bathroom. Downstairs, the finished lower level adds a rec room, bonus room that could work as an office, guest space or playroom, plus a gorgeous finished laundry room. Outside, the private driveway and fully fenced backyard give you space of your own, with a deck and pergola ready for summer evenings, kids, pets or entertaining. It’s enough yard to enjoy without taking over your weekends. You’re also within walking distance of downtown, with easy highway access when you need to get out of town. For buyers who appreciate the warmth, craftsmanship and solid feel of a character home, but still want something updated, comfortable and move-in ready, this one offers a great balance. Come see it in person. The details and pride of ownership are what make this home stand out.
