Welcome to this beautifully maintained 1,187 sq. ft. bungalow that perfectly blends character, comfort, and pride of ownership. Ideally situated in a prime downtown location, steps away from schools, shopping, restaurants, professional offices, parks, and all the amenities that downtown living has to offer. This home’s curb appeal is second to none, featuring extensive exterior renovations including updated windows, doors, siding, shingles and attractive stone accents. Mature trees and thoughtfully designed landscaping create a warm and inviting first impression. Inside, you’ll find a bright and spacious living room highlighted by hardwood flooring and large windows that flood the space with natural light. The hardwood continues into the main floor bedrooms, adding warmth and timeless appeal. The functional kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry and workspace, while the adjoining dining area is perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The main floor also features two comfortable bedrooms, a full bathroom and a convenient side mudroom which provides a practical transition space and offers direct access to the back yard as well as the basement. Downstairs, you’ll find two additional oversized rooms both with tons of built in closet space. These versatile rooms would be perfect for a home office, craft room, workout areas, guest rooms, or additional family living space. Step outside and enjoy a backyard that has been lovingly cared for over the years. The beautifully landscaped yard is filled with mature trees, shrubs, and an abundance of perennials, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat. A large rear deck provides the perfect space for summer barbecues, entertaining, or simply relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. Rounding off this beautiful property is the fully insulated double detached garage providing year-round convenience. A newer electrical panel, an HE furnace, newer water heater and new sewer/water main lines provide additional peace of mind. (id:65958)

Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
Pick a down payment and tap any underlined number to edit. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Monthly carrying costs (shared)
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Accelerated bi-weekly frequency reduces total interest paid vs. monthly — confirm with a broker. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy. Always validate with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
