The Property

Located in the popular Raven subdivision, this 3-bedroom plus den home offers a functional layout, recent updates, and great flexibility. Close to parks, walking trails, and on the school bus route, it's an excellent choice for families. Recent improvements include new flooring on the main level, replacement of the poly-B plumbing, and a high-efficiency furnace installed in 2021. The main floor features a comfortable living room and dining area separated by a cozy three-sided fireplace and spacious living room along with a large kitchen offering a central island, gas range, plenty of cabinetry, and generous counter space. Upstairs you'll find three good-sized bedrooms, including the primary bedroom with double closets and a private ensuite. Two additional bedrooms share a full 4-piece bathroom. The lower level includes a versatile rec room or den that could also serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, gym, or hobby room, along with plenty of storage. A non-conforming bachelor suite with its own entrance is currently rented for $1,000 per month, providing mortgage-helping income. Outside, the flat, fenced corner lot offers plenty of room for kids, pets, and gardening. While a new owner may wish to complete some cosmetic updates over time, many of the major improvements have already been done. With a practical floor plan, recent mechanical upgrades, rental income, and a desirable neighborhood, this home offers excellent value and plenty of potential. Seller is motivated. (id:63761)

Local Due Diligence & Property Realities

Daily experience varies significantly by neighbourhood. The downtown and harbourfront core offers genuine walkability with local shops and dining, but higher-elevation neighbourhoods like Hillcrest or Raven shift toward vehicle dependency and distinct winter challenges. Because of elevation change, hillside neighbourhoods often receive substantially more snow than lake-level areas. While upland districts offer larger lots and proximity to schools, they require comfort with steep winter commutes and the necessity of private snow clearing on steep driveways. The city's urban boundaries are tightly constrained by protected Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) farmland, creating a reality where modern subdivisions sit directly adjacent to active agricultural operations. Residents must navigate "Right to Farm" provisions, which prioritize agricultural production — meaning seasonal smells, noise, and dust from farming operations are a practical consideration.
