Features: Located in the city's east end and within walking distance to Ottawa Street North, this home is one of around a dozen properties listed for sale in the Crown Point East neighbourhood.
It's been on the market for just a few days.
Located on Wexford Avenue North, the one-and-a-half-storey, wartime home could be ideal for a first-time buyer or a young family, said John Sebastiano, a salesperson with RE/MAX Escarpment Realty Inc.
With the three-bedroom setup, it's perfect for them," said Sebastiano. And with the possibility of a fourth bedroom ... it has that growing family potential."
The main floor of the home has an open-concept living and dining area, a kitchen, two bedrooms, a four-piece bathroom as well as a warm and cosy" sun room at the back of the house, said Sebastiano.
The second floor of the home consists of one large bedroom that spans the entire space.
Downstairs, the partially finished basement includes a recreation room, a den and a workshop as well as a cold room and laundry room. The den could be turned into another bedroom, noted Sebastiano.
Outside, the fully fenced backyard has a cedar deck and an oversized, detached garage that features a two-storey loft space.
It could be for anything, like a work-from-home office," said Sebastiano. It would also be perfect for a hobbyist."
Why is it priced this way? Sebastiano said the average sale price for a home in the neighbourhood is $750,000. The price of the Wexford Avenue home could be considered entry-level," he noted.
A recently renovated home down the street that lacked a garage, but had an in-law suite sold for just over $792,000 in December, said Sebastiano.
It's really geared toward first-time buyers," he added.
There are eight other properties listed for under $600,000 in the neighbourhood.
