The kitchen features ample cabinetry with stainless appliances, glass subway tile and countertops that were all updated just a few years ago. Two large bedrooms with big closets, a four piece bathroom complete with tiled floor and tub surround, and washer/dryer complete this level. The basement is divided into two units; the west unit features laminate flooring, neutral paint, a bedroom with large window and closet, a 4 piece bathroom with tiled floors and tub surround, and an open concept living/dining and kitchenette area. The east unit has been freshly painted and features the same updated flooring, a 4 piece bathroom with tiled floors and tub surround, new fixtures (toilet, faucet etc.), a living/dining/kitchenette area and a den (no window in den). Completing the basement is a laundry room (shared by two lower units) and utility room. There are two parking pads that allow for 3 vehicles as well as plenty of street parking. UPDATES: All electrical smoke detectors are interlocking, the furnace room is drywalled and city-rated, oversized hot water tank, newer roof, plumbing, electric, drywall, baseboards and casing, doors, ceilings.
