Property is move-in ready.
While built in 1919, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready with significant system updates including a new roof (1 year old) and newer gas furnace/hot water tank. The addition of a second-floor suite with a modern 3/4 bath and insulated windows suggests a renovation within the 5-15 year range, meeting the 'Good' criteria.
Situated in the highly desirable Loyal Heights neighborhood, the property boasts an exceptional walk score with proximity to top-rated schools, Golden Gardens Park, and local transit.
The home features significant recent upgrades including a one-year-old roof and a newer gas furnace and hot water tank, reducing immediate maintenance concerns for the buyer.
The unfinished basement provides a rare opportunity to significantly increase the home's square footage and equity in a high-demand area with 'endless possibilities' for customization.
At only 750 finished square feet, the living space is quite compact for a two-bedroom home, which may feel restrictive for families or those requiring a home office.
With a list price of $818,000 for the current finished area, the property commands a premium price point that may challenge appraisals or deter buyers looking for more immediate interior space.
