Built in 1888 and standing beautifully for nearly 140 years, 75 Pollock Avenue is a remarkable home where history, character and thoughtful updates come together. Its impressive granite exterior hints at the craftsmanship of another era, while inside, care has been taken to preserve the warmth and architectural character that make a home of this vintage so special.

The main-floor unit is generous in scale, featuring a large living room with gas fireplace, formal dining room, beautifully updated kitchen, spacious bedroom and ensuite bathroom plus an additional bathroom for guests. A full basement provides dedicated laundry, utilities and additional storage, while a private deck extends the living space outdoors for summer dining and entertaining.
