Welcome to this inner-city oasis in the heart of Marda Loop. This thoughtfully designed and unique 2-storey heritage home filled with character, charm, and meaningful updates throughout. Bright and inviting, the home features strategic wall openings that allow natural light to flow beautifully through both levels, creating a warm and cheerful feel. Over the years, this property has seen numerous meaningful upgrades while still maintaining its heritage appeal. Major improvements include a new roof, soffits, and gutters in 2023, triple-pane windows in 2024 with over 20 years of warranty left, upgraded attic insulation, a natural gas boiler/on-demand hot water system, updated electrical in many areas of the home, and the north side foundation fully redone with poured concrete and French drains. The brick, masonry, and chimney have also been professionally restored as part of a heritage grant, helping preserve the home’s timeless exterior character. Inside, the home offers tasteful renovations including updated kitchen cabinetry, modern appliances, updated hardwood flooring, light fixtures, removal of popcorn ceilings, and a beautifully renovated bathroom with a soaker tub. The inviting main level provides comfortable living and dining spaces, while the upper level offers charming bedrooms and access to a peaceful balcony off the second bedroom, perfect for enjoying morning coffee. Outdoor living is just as special, with mature gardens, perennials already in place, a refinished patio/deck, cedar shed, and a private yard setting that feels peaceful and inviting, making this a gardener’s dream. Just two blocks from a pickleball court, community pool, coffee shops, and wine bars, and only moments from the many shops, restaurants, cafés, services, parks, pathways, community amenities, and vibrant lifestyle that make Marda Loop so desirable, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a character property with extensive updates already completed. A truly special home with his tory, warmth, efficiency, and plenty of room for your own personal decorating touch. (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.
