Originally built in the mid 1950's as a 2-bedroom, 1 bathroom home near Northgate Shopping Center, this thoughtfully expanded cottage has transformed into a spacious 3 bedroom, 2-bathroom home in desirable Trinity Park. A mid 1960's addition added generous living space, creating a versatile layout complete with a family area and a primary bedroom featuring an adjacent private bath with a custom ceramic tile shower. Preserved under the current carpeting in the main living room and two front bedrooms are classic hardwood floors ready to be restored. A charming bookshelf with extra storage is in the living room. Downstairs, a flexible partial basement offers the perfect canvas for a recreation room, home gym or creative art studio. This home is ready for a new owner to make it their own!
