Lovely heritage homes this close to downtown don't come up often! Bright, recently renovated, two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with great layout in a fantastic location. Separate permitted year-round studio with vaulted ceiling and loft. This block of Silica Street is very private, while at the same time very walkable, only two blocks from downtown. The terraced backyard has a surprising amount of usable space for a lower Uphill lot. Enjoy your mini urban orchard within the fully fenced back yard, complete with apple, cherry, and plum trees, as well as raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry bushes. One of the things that makes this home truly special is the private, fully fenced backyard sanctuary, which has been designed to serve as a spacious three-season outdoor living and dining area, perfect for relaxing as a family and for hosting huge parties. From late spring to fall, you can throw the back doors open and enjoy your private treed outdoor oasis. Four years ago, the current owners undertook an eight-month project, spending almost $170,000, to extensively renovate the interior and backyard. This is not a flip. All work has been done by licensed professionals. Renovations have been done with love and care, and with an eye for quality and longevity. Property was inspected in January 2021 by a licensed inspector, and the report is available for you to review. Ask your REALTOR(R) for the list of renovations and upgrades. Available for showings January 15-18th. Offers presented January 21 at 5pm. (id:2493)
