About this propertyMLS® 1305019
This furnished 3-bedroom end-unit row house offers plenty of room to spread out, some great features already in place, and the opportunity to make it your own. And with a NEW ROOF completed in June, vinyl windows, and the added bonus of an end-unit location, there's lots to like here! The main floor offers a separate dining area for family dinners, entertaining or those get-togethers that seem to happen around the table, along with a comfortable living room featuring laminate flooring. Just off the dining room, patio doors open onto the back deck – perfect for summer BBQs, enjoying your morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. Upstairs, you'll find three good-sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom. Light pine-coloured laminate flooring runs throughout the upper level, giving the space a bright, welcoming feel. Need a little extra room? The partially finished basement includes a bonus room with plenty of possibilities. Set it up as a hobby space, playroom, home office or whatever works for you! One of the perks of this being an end unit is the additional outdoor space along the side of the home. Whether you have little ones who need room to play, want to get your garden started, or simply enjoy having a little more breathing room outdoors, there's potential here. Located in a family-friendly neighbourhood close to schools, recreation and everyday amenities, this home is a great option for first-time buyers, families, investors or anyone looking to get into the market. It's furnished, has some important updates already taken care of, and is ready for someone to come in and make it theirs. Could that someone be you? (id:56688)
