3 bed • 3 bath • Single Family
Lovingly cared for by the same family for decades, this large home is updated & has extra possibilities for a growing family. Main floor features an open-concept living room with fireplace, dining room & large updated kitchen with beautiful island, loads of cupboards, counter space, 2 sinks, & under cabinet lighting. A 2-piece washroom, walk-in front hall closet & access to backyard complete this space. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms plus a small bonus room that could be a nursery, office, or dressing room. There are 2 large closets in the hallway. 4-piece bathroom has been updated. The third floor has great potential. Currently: 2 large rooms & a smaller room with plumbing. Turn this space into 2 kid’s rooms with their own bathroom, a large primary retreat with ensuite or artist space/home offices - the possibilities are endless. The high basement has a separate rear entrance & could be converted into a self-contained in-law suite. Backyard is fully fenced with raised porch, patio area, shed & vegetable gardens. Lovely raised front porch, 2-3 car parking in the driveway. Located beside an elementary school & in front of a church so no neighbour directly to the north side of the home or behind. Three brand new heat pumps installed this year. These units provide cooling comparative to central air and can be used for heat as well. Walking distance to James St N shops, restaurants & cafes, walk to the Bayfront Park, walking trail & Marina.
