A BEAUTIFUL HOME IN A GREAT LOCATION AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE! A detached 3 bedroom brick cottage sitting on 5220 square feet of land, located in the heart of NDG, surrounded by mature trees, good neighbours, and located close to all the amenities necessary in life such as metros, buses, schools, shops, parks and emergency clinics/hospitals. The house also benefits from an immense amount of natural light.. This cottage was built in 1940 and it stills retains the original oak floors/trims/staircase and wall sconses (LVR/DNR/Hallway) from the era. On the main floor, there is a working fireplace in the spacious LVR, great for those winter nights and/or romantic dinners. The top floor contains the bathroom (with original porcelain tiles) and the 3 bedrooms, including a spacious MBR and the 2 adjacent rooms are well-sized and also have easy-to-use French style casement windows. The finished basement, which is large, includes a powder room, a laundry room and a storage room. With regards to energy costs, this is an incredibly efficient home as evidence by the fact that the total costs for electric heating, electricity and hot water is $1200 per annum! This is partly due to the fact that the home has an energy efficient Hydra-4 hot water system which powers the cast iron heaters and is controlled by a Honeywell thermostat. The inside of the home's beauty is complemented by its outside which includes a large back and side yard, trees, greenery and flowers while modern enough as displayed by the 1 car clean garage (roof redone circa 2000) and additional parking outside in your very own unipave driveway which can fit 1 more car, if not 2! The home is truly pretty, practical, well-located and it is "country living in the city". The reason we are selling is due to relocation or else we would not be moving having enjoyed living here since 2002.
