Exceptional opportunity in the heart of coveted Playter Estates! This sun-filled, detached 2-storey home offers a rare chance to create your dream space in one of the city's most desirable neighbourhoods. Lovingly cherished by the same owners for over 20 years, the home boasts solid bones, a functional layout, and endless potential-perfect for buyers with vision looking to renovate and customize to their taste. Set on a picturesque, tree-lined one-way street just steps to the highly regarded Jackman Ave Junior Public School, the location is truly second to none. A charming covered porch welcomes you into this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home, including a rare main floor powder room. A 3-storey addition (2002) expanded the living space and includes a bright solarium-style family room with walkout to a deck and private garden. The heavy lifting has been done with major updates completed approximately 25 years ago including the addition, new staircases, skylight, and a fully excavated and underpinned basement, along with updated wiring and drains. The open-concept living and dining area features hardwood floors, built-in bookcases, and a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen was thoughtfully opened up and offers ample storage and a breakfast bar. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom includes a gas fireplace, while the oversized 5-piece bathroom features a soaker tub, glass shower, and abundant natural light. A large linen closet adds extra convenience. The fully finished lower level, with ceiling heights close to 8 feet, offers additional living space, a 3-piece bathroom, and a walkout to the backyard-ideal for potential in-law suite. Outside, the fully fenced backyard includes a garden shed with hydro and easy access from the lower level. Rare legal front pad parking. (id:58180)
