The highlight of this semi-detached, two-storey is its proximity to urban amenities, including parks, schools and Hillcrest Village shops, as well as the Allen Road expressway.
"In this price range, it's very difficult to find a property in the city close to transportation and with easy access to everything," says agent Boris Kholodov. "This is a property that offers just that."
The brick house had a three-bedroom plan like many homes nearby. But a few decades ago, it was redesigned with two large bedrooms upstairs and an open-concept main floor.
The central staircase is now visible from both the living and dining area and the rear kitchen, which has sliding garden doors. "You can see from the front of the house, all the way to the back," Mr. Kholodov adds.
The basement has a recreation room, a second kitchen and a laundry room, in addition to a separate entrance. The sole bathroom is on the second floor. Outside, there is room for one car in a mutual driveway and another in a detached garage.
