Description

Located in the historic & vibrant Japantown, this early 1900s Neoclassical bungalow offers a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully preserved piece of the city's architectural legacy. The property blends classic craftsmanship w/meaningful updates, creating a space that honors its past while supporting modern use. The single-level residence features original soft pine hardwood floors, period wood doors w/brass hardware, formal living & spacious dining rooms that reflect the home's turn-of-the-century design. The updated kitchen includes refreshed cabinetry, Corian countertops, and plentiful storage, providing everyday functionality. Boasting close to 2,000 square feet of main-level living space, the home feels substantial, warm & authentic to its era. Below the home, a fully slabbed basement w/multiple finished rooms awaits your final touch, offering flexibility for workspace, creative studios, or storage. A large attic space, accessed by pull-down stairs, provides even more expansion or storage potential. A detached garage & outdoor access to the basement further enhance usability. Zoned M-1 (Light Industrial), the property allows for a wide range of residential & business possibilities. Uniquely positioned in the urban core, walk to restaurants & shops, close to public transit.
