For sale: Semi-Detached/Link

This charming semi-detached three-bedroom home on Division St south of Concession, on a bus route that will take you right downtown and on into campus, is properly, thoughtfully, renovated top to bottom (the sellers have spent almost $120,000 in the last two years). There is, for instance, a fireplace set into the low wall that separates the new condo-style kitchen with its full suite of (again, new) stainless steel appliances from the sweet eating area, and if it was mine I'd set up shop in here most mornings, a warmth at my back. My guess is the day might be half-done before I felt the need to move on, perhaps into the living room with its stylish, wood-strapped media wall. There is a sound-proofed bedroom on the main floor and two more up above. There is a driveway with parking for at least a couple of vehicles, and a fenced garden with patio and shed for storage. Each room is presently rented for $880 and a good part of the utilities is covered too. Buy now and earn on your investment, or plan for May 1 next year, and move in yourself.
