Calling all investors and renovators: this 3,396 sq ft Victorian on a desirable, tree-lined street in Strathmore is a strong candidate for a value-add play. Three floors, 5 bedrooms, and solid bones — and the current owners have already knocked out several of the big-ticket items for you. Completed updates include new roofs on both the house and garage, a new front porch with roof, most windows replaced (with a transferable warranty), extensive plumbing work, new quartz countertops, and new kitchen appliances. That's a meaningful head start on the major systems and big-dollar projects. Remaining opportunities include plaster repair throughout, particularly in the ceilings, along with finishes and cosmetic updates — ideal projects for a buyer ready to make this home their own. The partially finished third floor (sitting room, bedroom, and studio) adds further upside — potential for expanded living space, a rental unit, or a primary suite, depending on your vision. This is a chance to add significant value in a location that already draws buyer interest, with several of the hardest and most expensive projects already behind you. Victorians of this size and character in established, walkable neighborhoods rarely come available — bring your contractor and your numbers.
