With just a bit of finishing work (being sold as is), this home is a true steal you won't want to miss! This spacious home offers an open-concept living and dining area—perfect for hosting family and friends—with an inviting electric fireplace and large windows that fill the space with natural light. Step out onto the generous deck, ideal for outdoor entertaining, and enjoy the added bonus of extra parking on a corner lot. Inside, you'll find fresh paint, new flooring, stylish light fixtures, and beautifully updated kitchen and bathroom spaces that give the home a fresh, modern feel. The oversized master bedroom features a bonus room and an attached area already equipped with a shower and water line—ready to be transformed into a master ensuite. With newer windows, a roof and furnace that are only 4 years old (furnace still under warranty), many big-ticket updates are already complete. Just finish the hallway flooring, master bedroom, and add trim throughout to bring this nearly-finished gem to life. With so much already done, this could be the picture-perfect home you’ve been looking for—at a price that’s hard to beat!
