This isn't a project disguised as a home. It's a head start.

Most 1880s homes in this price range still ask you to earn them — wiring, drains, roof, windows. The kind of work that costs twice: once in money, once in weekends.

Here, that list is already crossed off. Knob and tube: gone, inspected, passed. Roof: new metal, 2026. Kitchen: updated, 2026 with new countertops. Main-level floors and windows, bedroom insulation: done.

Which means the only thing left to plan is which Festival dates you're booking first.

Everything you'd drive to, you can walk to.

A quiet street inside the school catchment families move here for. Theatre, the Avon River trails, restaurants and Saturday mornings downtown — all on foot. The previous owners say the neighbourhood turned out better than they'd hoped.
