Offering approx. 0.2 acres, this property presents an exciting opportunity for homeowners, investors, or developers looking for a substantial lot in an established and convenient neighbourhood. Beyond the existing home, the size, zoning, and location offer compelling long-term possibilities. This property offers comfortable living with schools, parks, shopping, and major transit routes nearby. The main level features fresh paint, updated flooring, modern lighting, and heat pumps for efficient year-round comfort. The renovated kitchen boasts quartz countertops, new cabinetry, and an updated sink. It offers 3 bedrooms and comfortable living spaces, with an open layout designed to maximize space and functionality, along with updated subfloor.
