Currently configured as a recreation room, it easily accommodates a home gym, children's play area, and media space.

Additional highlights include new hardwood floors, split-system units, abundant storage, Pella windows, and a private garage with additional parking.

Ideally located just 1.5 blocks from the nearest subway, and minutes to a variety of local shops, restaurants, greenspaces, and waterfront parks. This home is a special find. Call to schedule your showing today!
