Detached two-story home in the heart of Corso Italia with potential to build an income generating laneway suite. The home's striking exterior facade features designer Shou Sugi Ban wood siding, added in 2021 using a traditional charring process that creates a durable, long-lasting, and beautifully preserved finish.

The spacious kitchen features porcelain flooring, quartz countertops, a centre island, and a convenient stackable washer/dryer closet in addition to a separate basement laundry room.

The second floor offers warm hardwood flooring throughout and three well-sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom includes a walk-out to a private south-facing balcony. The finished basement, complete with luxury vinyl flooring, includes a separate entrance from the backyard, its own laundry room, a bedroom/living area, and a separate kitchen.
