About this home
Rare turn-key, roomy 2-family duplex on "triple-size" lot with 5+ off-street parking in quiet part of high-demand neighborhood - Mission Hill. Built in 1988 with upgrades over the years. 2 apartments used as 4 bedrooms each with leases in place til September 2027 at $10,000 rent/month starting September 2026, with increases possible in September 2027. Delightful 2-level suburban-feel living with a bonus 3rd level to the house: a finished walk-out lower level that is not included in the City's living-area records. Open kitchen/dining areas and good-size yard. This is an easy-to-lease income property with hardly any maintenance - no shared common area in the building. All separate utilities including 2 water meters, paid for by the tenants. Easily converted to condos as-is, with the possibility of getting approvals to build additional units.
