This is a home that offers a lot of what buyers are looking for: comfortable one-floor living, important updates, useful extra space, and a location that keeps everyday needs close by. Whether you are purchasing your first home, downsizing, or simply looking for something easier to maintain, the layout works well. The main floor has been renovated and opened up to create a bright, welcoming living space, while the finished lower level adds flexibility for a family room, home office, workout area, guests, or storage. Several larger updates have already been taken care of. The roof was replaced in 2022, along with the front and rear doors, and a new wood fence was added across the back of the yard in May of that year. In 2025, the neighbouring property owner replaced most of the chain-link fencing along the north side with new wood fencing, adding even more privacy. Most of the windows have also been updated, and the exterior has been professionally painted. The backyard is another feature that makes this home easy to enjoy. Mature trees, a covered rear deck, patio, large shed, and updated fencing create a private outdoor space with room for gardening, entertaining, pets, or simply relaxing. Inside, the gas fireplace adds warmth to the main living area, while two main-floor bedrooms and an updated 4-piece bathroom keep everyday living convenient. The lower level gives you additional usable space without taking on the size and upkeep of a much larger home. The location adds another layer of convenience. Set on a tree-lined street of single-family homes, the property is close to groceries, shopping, public transit, schools, parks, trails, restaurants, healthcare, and downtown. With a manageable layout, a private yard, meaningful updates, and extra space where you want it, this is a home that can work well for a variety of lifestyles and stages of life. It is move-in ready, easy to enjoy, and well worth seeing in person.
