Description
Opportunity, character, and endless potential await! This classic 4-bedroom, 2-bath home is ready for its next chapter and offers the perfect canvas for someone with vision. Situated on a large, beautifully treed lot on a mature street just steps from downtown, this property combines an exceptional location with unlimited possibilities. The welcoming full-width covered front porch sets the tone, while inside you'll find spacious principal rooms including an eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, and a comfortable living room with a cozy wood stove. Original woodwork throughout adds warmth, charm, and timeless character that simply can't be duplicated. This home requires extensive updating but offers incredible potential to become a stunning family residence or, a potential duplex investment. The unfinished walk-up attic offers excellent potential for future living space, while an upper walk-out porch off one of the bedrooms adds even more character and charm. The true showstopper is the spectacular backyard. The oversized, beautifully treed lot provides exceptional privacy and plenty of room for gardens, entertaining, family gatherings, or simply enjoying your own peaceful outdoor retreat. Recent improvements include a new roof and eavestroughs (2022), two attic windows replaced (2022), and a new furnace (2017), providing a solid starting point for your renovation plans. Additional features include a detached garage, a long private driveway with parking for 4-5 vehicles, a covered rear entry porch, and a flexible closing date. Bring your imagination and restore this character-filled home to its full potential. Great chance for a property with this much charm, such an incredible lot, and so much opportunity come to market!

Financial Summary
Cash Needed at Closing
Minimum down payment: 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion up to $1.5M, 20% at/above $1.5M. Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
