Perched above a very quiet street and surrounded by mature landscaping, this is more than just a house, it is a private, conveniently located in-city retreat. Step inside to a generously sized living room, beautifully illuminated by large windows and thoughtfully set apart from the dining and kitchen areas, offering the perfect balance of openness and separation. Fresh paint and radiantly refinished hardwood floors create a bright, welcoming feel throughout. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with granite counters, custom cabinetry, and newer appliances. The skylight in the large dining area adds great natural light. The main floor also includes two comfortable, well-appointed bedrooms, lots of closet space and a full bathroom with tiled floors. Downstairs, the lower level offers impressive ceiling height, a versatile rec room space, plus a third bedroom, half bath, a huge laundry room and loads of storage. The fully fenced backyard showcases an oversized patio, perfect for summer barbecues with friends and loved ones. The south-facing yard is perfect for gardening, with plenty of room for pets to roam. An efficient electric heat pump handles whole-home heating and cooling (whole house A/C), keeping things comfortable and low maintenance. Close to shops, restaurants, and amenities, with easy access to bus lines and the Northgate light rail. This is a great opportunity.
