Big on charm, full of personality, and hiding a backyard you're going to love! Welcome to 995 Lorne Avenue, a beautifully updated two-storey home in the heart of London's Old East Village, one of the city's most interesting neighbourhoods! Renovated in 2016, this home has all the character you'd expect from an older property, without the long list of projects that usually comes with one. The gorgeous kitchen is a real highlight, with plenty of room to cook, entertain, and spend time together. You'll also love the convenience of main floor laundry! Upstairs, you'll find 3 genuinely spacious bedrooms (because nobody wants a bedroom that barely fits a bed) and a full bathroom, with an additional powder room on the main floor. The unfinished basement is another pleasant surprise, with tall ceilings, a dry interior, and loads of room for storage. But let's talk about that BACKYARD! Fully fenced, with a newer deck and pergola, it's a fantastic little space for summer BBQs, morning coffee, entertaining friends, or doing absolutely nothing at all. It's private, it's adorable, and you might just forget you're in the middle of the city. There's also parking for TWO vehicles, which is a pretty nice bonus in this neighbourhood. And speaking of the neighbourhood, Old East Village has a personality all its own. Independent coffee shops, craft breweries, amazing restaurants, vintage shops, live music at Aeolian Hall, performances at the Palace Theatre, and the Western Fair Market are all close by. It's a neighbourhood full of interesting places, creative people, and small businesses worth supporting, all just minutes from downtown London. If you've been looking for an older home with great character, a beautiful kitchen, good-sized bedrooms, and a backyard you'll want to spend all summer in, you might have just found it. Come see for yourself!
