Zoning alone makes this place interesting. It's got a commercial CG tag, so you could live here, run a business, or live here and run a business. That's a rare find in this part of town. The house itself is a classic 1897 two-storey, with 3 beds and 2 baths spread over about 2,100 square feet. You'll notice the original hardwood hiding under carpet in a few rooms, and the main floor has some vintage charm with newer vinyl in the kitchen and bath. There's a 2pc bath and laundry on the main floor, plus a primary bedroom with its own en-suite? Actually no, it's a 4pc bath on the second floor, so the primary just shares. But the layout works. You've got a formal dining room off the kitchen, and a living room at the front with big windows. Lot is a skinny 30 by 98 feet, but there's a gravel side driveway with enough room for a couple of cars, which is gold downtown. You're right at the edge of the action, a 3-minute walk to the waterfront and the shops on Dalhousie Street. Price is a steal compared to the median nearby (that's over a million), so you're paying for the location and the zoning, not the house itself. It's a bit rough around the edges, but the bones are solid. If you're an investor or a first-timer with some vision, this could be your spot.
