This one-of-a-kind layout is the BEST you've ever seen. The Master Bedroom AND the 2nd bedroom are on the main floor, and the 3rd EXTRA LARGE bedroom is on the lower level, with extremely high ceilings, and lots of light, with unobstructed windows facing the front of the home (this is NOT one of your typical small, lower level, dark bedrooms, but a spacious real bedroom, suitable for family, guests, or live-in, and there is a full bath on this level, which really makes this useful). The carpeted lower level family room is the largest you will see, with sky-high ceilings, room for an entertainment center, as well as play area, or ping pong, pool table, wet bar, or whatever! The huge Master Suite, has tons of closet space, and an updated en-suite bath with walk-in shower, and a double bowl sink. You feel the extra width of the home in the Great Room style main level, with island kitchen, dining and living room, which is just right for formal entertaining as well as for day-to-day family living, and features hardwood floors, recessed lighting, gas fireplace with substantial hearth and mantle, and Juliet balcony. And, did I mention, there is a SEPARATE office too! There is room for everything, in this home, with generous storage space, including a large private outdoor shed, which is great for bikes, strollers, trikes, wagons, lawn furniture, gardening supplies, and the like. The large laundry room has full-sized side by side washer and dryer. There is also abundant outdoor space, for play and relaxation including a private deck overlooking the spacious yard, and a common roof deck with incredible downtown views. Convenient garage parking is included in the price! This eight-unit building is 100% OWNER OCCUPIED, with many long term, stable owners. This could be your forever home! Great schools and transportation, close to the Wellington L stop, restaurants, day care, shopping, and nightlife. You can be downtown in minutes on the L, or minutes to the lakefront just 10 blocks away. Move-in ready home is available now! Great opportunity in a great location!
