Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Renovation: The property has undergone a complete top-to-bottom remodel, including a new roof, flooring, appliances, kitchen, bathrooms, electrical, and plumbing, making it fully move-in ready.
Income-Generating ADU: A brand-new studio Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with a full kitchen, bathroom, and mini-split system offers significant flexibility for rental income or multi-generational living.
Prime Walkable Location: Situated in a desirable, walkable Normal Heights neighborhood, with easy access to Kensington's cafes, restaurants, bars, and positioned within a convenient transit corridor.
Future Development Potential: The property offers the unique option to build an additional dwelling unit, providing significant future value and expansion possibilities.
Ample Parking & Quiet Street: A new poured-concrete driveway accommodates up to five cars, and the location on a quiet, non-through street ensures easy parking and reduced traffic.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 916, other record living area = 616. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Compact Main Home Square Footage: The main home's 916 sqft for 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is relatively compact, which might be a consideration for buyers seeking more spacious living areas.
High Price Point: The list price of $1.35 million is a premium for the area, potentially limiting the buyer pool despite the extensive renovations and ADU.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: With the main home, ADU, and potential for a third unit on a 4167 sqft lot, the usable private outdoor space for recreation or gardening may be limited.
