A 2025 renovation brought modern finishes, brand-new appliances, and upgraded systems, including four new heat pumps three in the lower unit and one in the upper plus two gas fireplaces capable of heating the entire home. With newer windows, a roof replaced around 2018, and everything move-in ready, this home is solid, stylish, and ready to perform.This property has also proven itself as a strong income earner, having successfully operated as an Airbnb for the 2022 and 2023 years. The rental potential is outstanding, with summer income alone enough to cover the mortgage for the entire year, while long-term rentals provide stable returns. Outside, you will find parking for up to five vehicles, a huge fenced backyard perfect for families and pets, and a brand-new storage shed for added convenience. Located in a quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood, you are just a short walk through scenic trails to the beach and only minutes to downtown and the shoreline.
