About This Property

Exceptional detached home just one block off Commercial Street. This charming character property offers incredible flexibility with two self-contained living spaces, ideal for extended family, guests, or generating supplemental rental income. Set on a quiet, well-located street close to shops, cafés, and everyday amenities, this property also offers exciting long-term potential. Architectural plans are already in place for a front-and-back duplex, with the development permit soft-approved by the City and to be issued alongside the building permit, helping streamline any future plans.

A rare opportunity to enjoy a livable home today, with built-in income and the flexibility to adapt, expand, or reimagine the property over time.
