Description

This charming three-storey red-brick home with no front neighbours offers 2,095 sq. ft. of finished living space (per MPAC) and is located directly opposite McNabb Park. The home has been carefully maintained, featuring hardwood floors, crown moulding, wainscoting, and tall baseboards that run through the main level. Large front windows in the living and dining areas allow plenty of natural light, thanks to the home's south-facing orientation. The fully renovated kitchen boasts white stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a farmhouse-style sink, complemented by a breakfast bar peninsula for both seating and prep, while a dedicated breakfast nook with built-in cabinetry provides extra storage and a casual dining space. At the back, the family room showcases a freestanding wood-burning stove, a sliding glass door that provides direct access to the backyard deck, and a convenient 3-piece bathroom. The second floor features three bright bedrooms and a full bathroom, each bedroom with hardwood floors, neutral finishes, and deep-set windows. The 4-piece bathroom includes a charming Ontario-made clawfoot tub, a large vanity with extended counter space, and beadboard wall detailing. The top level is a versatile loft space that can serve as an additional bedroom or flexible living area. The basement provides a large unfinished area suitable for storage, hobbies, or future customization. Outside, the landscaped backyard features a wooden deck and a lush, well-maintained lawn. The driveway is shared. Located just a short walk from Bank Street, Little Italy, Dow's Lake, and numerous OC Transpo routes, this home is close to everything you might need! Across the street, McNabb Park and Recreation Centre has an outdoor area with a pool, playground and dog park, as well as an indoor arena, dance and pottery studios, and hosts regular community events, making this an ideal home for growing families.
