This property is listing on MLS September 8. The offer date will be September 15th.  Please reach out to me directly to schedule a preview.

Like a tree amongst trees this detached home stands tall and strong against a lush ravine backdrop; A green-vista shared by all the living spaces and best appreciated from the principal bedroom’s balcony. Nature, privacy, quietude on an equally calm and friendly street. Large, square rooms on split levels, providing the sight-lines akin to open concept homes.

Legal duplex status provides buyers with options: Separate ground floor entrance, kitchen and great room, makes for an outstanding studio apartment, who’s revenues can bridge that financial gap until you’re ready to use the space as its current use, a big, naturally-lit family room. Flexibility and versatility, this home may be just the right fit for your family.

With a long list of recent updates and maintenance to this 1989 infill construction, you can avoid the ‘unpredictabilities’ of the typical renovated century home.
