About This Property

1885 was a very...beautiful year! This mini Victorian with its wrap-around porch has tons of charm and originality. The home truly makes a statement with its beautiful wood work, pocket doors & hardwood floors throughout complemented by detailed hardware, period fixtures, front and back staircases and of course a parlor upfront as you enter. As a bonus, some of the beautiful pieces will stay. This home offers so much character but we don't want to overlook a few other items such as all the pipes running through the basement are now copper, the electrical box has circuit breakers, the boiler is only about 5 years old and the water heater is brand new last year. Keep the beauty going with some painting and a few cosmetic touches. It sits proudly on a great lot with a 2 story - 2 car garage, shed, & additional paver parking space. There is no denying what a great location it is with just a short stroll to Lord's park that will provide enjoyment time after time. You won't believe how much it has to offer and all within a block or 2. There are beautiful ponds, walking paths, picnic areas, multiple play grounds, parks, aquatic centre, nature centre a museum and even buffalo as well as a small zoo. Of course there's athletic fields, basketball and tennis courts too. All this and more and you won't even need to get in the car.

The manager has listed the unit size as 1975 square feet.
