Step into this storybook Beaverdale brick bungalow filled with warmth and character! A cozy three-season front porch welcomes you inside, where original hardwood floors lead the way through the spacious living room and continue throughout the main level.
The kitchen may be small, but it's mighty, featuring stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove and refrigerator, perfect for home-cooked meals. Two comfortable bedrooms share an updated, modern bathroom, offering both style and convenience.
Upstairs, you'll find a finished attic space, a versatile area ideal for a guest room, home office, or cozy reading nook. The clean, dry basement provides plenty of storage space and includes laundry for added functionality.
Step out back to your private oasis, where a wooden gate opens to a large yard complete with a fire pit and storage shed, perfect for relaxing evenings or weekend gatherings.
This classic Beaverdale gem blends vintage charm with thoughtful updates and a welcoming feel you'll love calling home.
