About this home
1st time on the market in 20 years! 4 legal suites in a solid 1907 Character building with timeless touches of elegance and sophisticated woodwork throughout. Can combine suite 1 & 4 for a deluxe owners suite (suites 2 & 3 have a separate entrance). Very rare authorization for 3 transient accommodation units- was a B&B recently & could be again- buyer to satisfy themselves as to STR regulations. See oisuites.com. New 2026 roof and hot water tanks. Significant upgrades to perimeter drains, fire safety, insulation, and plumbing. Well-cared for property with all major upgrades complete. All tenants on fixed agreements- finishing by Nov 2026. Furniture, coin-op laundry machines are all included- ready to rent revenue property. Very large and private rear yard sheltered from wind and very sunny (rare for James Bay). Nestled among other huge character homes making it an oasis from the city. A rare find and outstanding value in today’s market. Pre-list building inspection available. (id:65179)
