Property description
Rare opportunity for nature lovers to own a fantastic house on an oversized wooded lot with unlimited potential in a highly desirable Birds Hill neighborhood, with a peaceful ambiance, while allowing for an easy walk to all major schools, downtown, and T station. Charming and inviting home is filled with light and love and features tons of upgrades. Thanks to major expansion in 2000, there is much more space than appears. New kitchen, master-suite, and dining room provide a lot of additional living, storage, and open space - work from home easily! Countless improvements include gorgeous hardwood floors, Buderus furnace, 200 Amp electricity, new roof in 2019, and six-zone minisplits providing individual temperature for each room, filtered air, and huge savings on your heating bill. Natural gas is close by. No major work is needed for the right buyer - move right in or rebuild - now or later - the beauty, size, and location of the lot make it a great investment. Let it be yours!
