Heritage Charm plus Modern Amenities!! This 1952 'character' home was completely renovated in 2008 - framing, electrical, plumbing, insulation (rockwool), drywall, siding, fixtures.....and a complete suite in the basement. Some of the original character of the home remains, including the fir flooring on the main and upper level, and the use of recycled wood as finishing touches in the home. The main floor is open and bright - lower kitchen cupboards made of recycled wood and painted for an 'antique' look, convenient pantry cupboard and a breakfast bar. Living/dining area, large closet for storage, full bath/laundry, and 2 bedrooms which both have patio doors onto the back deck. The upstairs would make a great master bedroom...complete with full bath which has a 'claw foot' tub. The legal lower level suite has two bedrooms, open kitchen/living/dining area, full bath with stackable washer/dryer. Safe and Sound Rockwood insulation in the ceiling prevents noise transfer. Both main living area and the suite have new hot water heaters. The 10' x 24' sundeck out back was refinished with 'Tuffdeck' for low maintenance. Little garden/storage shed out back. Beautiful rock gardens with evergreen shrubs, perennials, and four heritage fruit trees (2 pear, 2 apple). Parking in front, or access from the laneway. Close to schools and an easy walk to shopping, restaurants, and the lake! Use the suite for your guests, or rent long term, or consider Airbnb options for a mortgage helper! (id:22211)
