Welcome to 71 Sheriff Avenue, a spacious four-bedroom home located in the heart of Sydney! Conveniently situated within walking distance of schools, shopping, and everyday amenities, this property offers plenty of room and possibilities for its next owner. The main floor features hardwood flooring, a welcoming foyer, a generous family room, a separate dining room or den, an eat-in kitchen, and a convenient half bath. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms and a full bathroom, providing comfortable space for family living. A staircase from the second level provides easy access to the undeveloped attic, offering additional storage space. From the rear kitchen entrance, stairs lead to the unfinished basement, where you'll find the laundry area and a separate workshop space (see listing photos).
