Lovely 2+1 bedroom, 2-bath bungalow on a 30 ft lot with private drive, surrounded by multi-million-dollar homes. South Leaside is known for excellent schools (Bessborough Elementary & Middle School, Leaside High) and a strong sense of community. Families, builders, contractors take notice this one has value. And investors will all see value here as a rental property. The main floor offers a classic Leaside layout: open concept living/dining area with a large front window and a functional wood-burning fireplace. The updated kitchen has a peninsula for extra prep space or a coffee station for breakfast on the go. The decorative shelves and the gas stove will be appreciated by your home chef. The primary bedroom features a deep closet and comfortably fits a king bed with space to spare. The wall between the two original bedrooms was opened to create a sitting/TV room or home office but can easily be closed to restore the second bedroom. For families with young children, it works well as a nursery now and a private bedroom later. Upgraded sliding French doors lead to a great multi-tiered deck and a fenced-in quiet & private backyard, ideal for BBQs and playtime. The lower level includes a fully functional kitchen with ample cupboard space and above-grade window, a 3rd bedroom (currently used as an office), with a 3-PC ensuite and an updated oversized family/recreation room. This versatile space works as a games room, kids playroom, or a media room for movie nights. Note: the basement is not retrofitted for rental. This is a solid home that works for today and offers potential for the future. NOTE: A Garden Suite study is attached to the listing for a possible additional 1291 SF of living space over 2-storeys. Home Inspection report also attached to listing.
