A rare chance to own a nearly 1/4 acre in Vic West with a beautifully updated home complete with a mortgage helper. Able to be redeveloped without rezoning (buyer to verify), this energy efficient home has had several recent updates including a gas on-demand hot water system, gas furnace, full electrical upgrade and a completely updated lower suite. The bright and spacious 3 bed plus den/2 bath upper unit has a huge south facing deck and a bonus storage/workshop space, as well as parking for 4 vehicles. The fully renovated lower 2 bed/1 bath garden suite features a no-step entrance, lots of light and is fully separated from the upper. Both units feature private entrances, separate laundry and large fully fenced yards. A short walk to shopping, restaurants, schools, parks, public transit and bike trails, and only minutes from downtown by car, bike or foot. Few other homes offer the space and privacy of the suburbs in the heart of the city!
