About this home

Built at a time when ‘old growth’ referred to quality building materials, not your aging parents. When laminate meant something you did while baking not building. This 1941-built home offers the best from an era of quality construction coupled with extraordinary, meticulously made improvements. The knob & tube wiring has been fully replaced and electrical panels upgraded. Newer high-efficiency gas furnace & h20 tank. Galvanized plumbing was removed & replaced with Pex piping. 3 bedrooms & 1 full bath on the main level & a ¾ bath in the lower level. Under the hood of this unassuming 1941 home, you’ll find beefy structural integrity. Complimented by insulated windows, hardwood floors, custom-designed open kitchen featuring wood cabinetry, heated floors, gas range, and tile backsplash. In 2026 the seller installed a new composition roof, vaulted ceilings & skylight to the front bedroom, plus fresh paint throughout. 2023 was the year of the bathroom remodel for the main level. Meanwhile, this seller (a true artist at heart) fully finished the lower floor to add a ¾ bath, laundry room, and home theatre (HDMI wired for sound). The artist’s touch comes with carefully sourced reclaimed interior doors, exotic wood trims, a rear deck, & raised garden beds on a level, partially fenced, 6,907 sq ft lot. You’ll have ample room to host a car show, but who needs a car when you are perfectly positioned between the Northgate & Pinehurst light rail stations.
