Welcome to 74 Lake Avenue West. This Edwardian-century home has tons of character and all the modern luxuries you need, thanks to over $240K of recent renovations.

The renovated kitchen features custom-milled pine flooring, ample storage, a gas range, and an island with a built-in wine fridge. Off the dining room, there is a large rec room which is perfect for a home gym, playroom, guest room, or additional bedroom. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms, including an impressive primary suite with a gas fireplace, glass walk-in shower, original claw-foot soaker tub, and large closet with custom cedar doors. Leading into the backyard is the sunroom would make a great home office or could be converted to the dream mud room. The property is landscaped throughout with perennials, raised garden beds, and cedars that provide privacy. An oversized two-car garage adds plenty of storage options in addition to space for two cars. This home is just a short walk from schools, the beach, a public boat launch at Riverside Park, cafes, the OVRT, restaurants, and boutiques, and as a bonus, is on the Christmas Parade route!
