The Place

An updated three-bedroom, two-bathroom family home in Kensal Park.  

The Details

From the curb, this post-war home presents with many of signature attributes of the era: a clean, simple façade, enclosed porch and plenty of property to go along with it ― a quintessential family home of the 1950s, in many respects.

Once inside, however, you’ll find a home that has been given a top-to-bottom facelift, bringing it in line with the kind of modern amenities most buyers are looking for these days. As you step in through the front door, you’ll find the home’s open-concept living room and kitchen, with luxury vinyl plank flooring and sharp white trim. The large kitchen features Shaker cabinetry with stylish hardware, both open and closed storage, subway tile stretching to the ceiling, loads of stone countertop space and a large central peninsula. Toward the back of the main level, you’ll find a multi-purpose room that could work either as a third bedroom, dining room or a home office. The bathroom, newly retiled and with a walk-in shower, rounds out the main level.

There are two bedrooms on the second level of the home, both with large windows facing out of the front and back of the homes respectively. The basement has been fully finished, and includes vinyl flooring, as well as a brand-new four piece bathroom.

The exterior of this home combines the space of a corner lot with a spacious shrubbed-in backyard featuring a small shed, firepit and lots of space to run around.

At under $600,000, it’s a solid value that could well appeal to the first-time buyer category. Under the hood, a lot of work has been done to this one: the furnace and air conditioning systems were installed this year, and many of the appliances were also purchased in 2023.
