Set on a quiet block in sought-after AU Park, this charming home has solid construction, inviting warmth, and pristine presentation - can be enjoyed immediately, but equally ready for your personal updates or renovations when the time is right. Inside are bright, gracious rooms, gleaming hardwood floors, and three wood… Read More burning fireplaces. The main entry level welcomes you with an easy, traditional flow and generous natural light. A spacious living room with south-facing windows flows into both a comfortable family room and an inviting sunroom. This combination of rooms could be divided and converted into an additional bedroom and/or an additional bathroom as part of future renovations. The dining room overlooks the rear garden and adjoins the efficient kitchen featuring brand new GE cooktop and double wall ovens. The main level also includes a large, flexible room with a walk-in closet and a full bathroom with shower. In the past, this room has been used as a formal dining room but is currently used as a bedroom, perfect as an entry-level primary suite or a generous guest room. Upstairs are two large bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, sharing a full hall bath with tub shower. One of the bedrooms has an adjoining office or study that could be used as a dressing room, or could be renovated in the future to be an ensuite bathroom. The walk-out lower level has a recreation room for play, fitness, or media. A full bathroom with shower and a laundry room add functionality, while a workshop area houses the home's systems and offers ample space for storage or hobbies. Recent upgrades to the landscaping improves curb appeal and creates a lovely rear garden setting with brick and stone patios, plus a spacious terraced yard for entertaining and play. A detached garage and parking area are accessible from the alley. Down the street to Millie's, Wagshal's Market, Crate & Barrel, and Starbucks, with Whole Foods, CVS, Turtle Park, and Tenley Metro nearby, this address offers the best of AU Park living - vibrant, walkable, and friendly. This property on a large lot represents a rare opportunity: impeccably maintained and comfortable, yet priced to allow budget for updates and renovation. Whether you settle in as-is or plan a thoughtful renovation over time, you'll be building on a foundation of quality, care, and enduring neighborhood value. Read Less
