Property Description

Set on a quiet block, this renovated semi-detached home blends original character with thoughtful modern updates. A welcoming front porch leads into a proper foyer with coat closet where soft archways and oak hardwood floors add historic charm to this WW2 era home. The living room flows into a light-filled dining room and an updated kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, and recessed lighting. French doors lead to the fully fenced backyard oasis—ideal for everyday living and easy entertaining with multiple off-street parking spots, EV charger, and ample sun for gardening.

Upstairs you'll enjoy two comfortably sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom is large enough for a king bed and has dual closets. The secondary bedroom is spacious enough for a queen bed and has wonderful light flowing from the french doors and juliette balcony. The upstairs hall bathroom was newly renovated in 2025.

A finished lower level adds valuable flexibility with a second full bath, recessed lights, under stair storage, and newer stacked laundry - perfect for a guest suite, office, or additional living space. The lower level could be transformed into a third bedroom if one of the two windows were expanded for egress. Enjoy a sustainable lifestyle with significantly reduced utility bills from solar panels. Double paned, vinyl replacement windows aid in energy efficiency while Central AC provides comfort through the seasons. Happy years have been spent in this beautiful, well cared for home.
