Bring your vision and discover the possibilities at 256 Princess Street! This spacious detached home offers over 4,000 square feet of above-ground living space, plus a finished basement, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and incredible potential for the right buyer. Behind its traditional brick exterior, you’ll discover a surprisingly spacious layout, including a more contemporary rear addition featuring a stunning two-story great room, an impressive wall of windows that fills the space with natural light, and a beautiful curved second-floor loft overlooking the living area. Additional highlights include a generous primary bedroom, a spacious finished basement with a brick fireplace and built-in shelving, and a large enclosed recreational area offering even more possibilities. The property offers an opportunity for buyers looking to renovate, personalize, and unlock its full potential.
