You could buy the bigger house...but you dont need to. Not when every square foot works this hard. This character-filled bungalow on the hill makes incredibly smart use of its footprint, while offering something thats getting harder to find: personality, privacy and an established neighbourhood, right on Mitchell Street. Just up the road from the YMCA and minutes from downtown, a winding footpath through mature perennial gardens leads to the front door, where butterflies and hummingbirds might have you forgetting youre in the city at all. Inside, the bright living room features hardwood floors, a large front window and natural gas fireplace. The oversized eat-in kitchen is a standout, with a Scandinavian feel, abundant natural wood cabinetry, built-in butcher block work surface, Corian-edged counters, overhead pot rack, vented range and newer appliances. Two bedrooms and a renovated full bath with gorgeous barn door, and a top of the line ductless heat pump complete the main level. But this homes footprint doesnt stop there. Downstairs is bright, spacious and already home to a large family room, second natural gas stove, wood stove (was WETT in 2017, buyer to confirm today's code compliance), renovated full bath, excellent laundry and storage, with much of the remaining work simply flooring, trim and your own finishing touches. And some of the biggest homeowner expenses have already been handled: roof (2020), main-floor bath (2019), lower-level bath (2022), sewer line to the city main replaced with professional remediation (2022) - all that's left to do is flooring and trim!, and front porch/stairs (2023). Outside, a private, lush backyard filled with perennials and greenery, with paths ready to be brought back to life with a green thumb, and a 12x12 shed complete the package. Equal billing approx $147/mth electric, plus $140/mth natural gas. Bigger is easy to measure. A home that lives this well? That's harder to find. (id:4069)
