The old adage in real estate “location, location, location” exists for a reason. A great location is a real advantage; it is sought-after, adds value and offers the ultimate in convenience.
This particular location really can’t be beat. You’re just steps from Lakehead University, several big box amenities like Costco, HomeSense, Best Buy and Home Depot, multiple restaurants and a movie theatre. Also nearby are major highways, walking trails, parks and schools—you’re even just a short distance away from local lakes.
17 Julia Crescent is a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom, approximately 1,800 sq. ft. detached home that definitely has a lot to offer. The home is light and bright, with lots of room for a family.
On the main level there is a living room with big windows and a 3-sided gas fireplace. It is open to a modern kitchen, which has stainless steel appliances and an eat-in breakfast area. Sliding doors lead out onto a huge deck and large backyard, where you can entertain, dine outdoors and enjoy evenings under the stars.
A large, separate formal dining room, also on this level, is the perfect place to host family gatherings and celebrate special occasions. The space is flooded with natural light thanks to a well-placed window high above.
Upstairs, the primary suite boasts a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath with a Jacuzzi tub. The bedroom that faces Julia Crescent has a large balcony that extends your living space and is a great spot to enjoy the good weather in the warmer months.
One of the greatest features of this house is that it includes a fully finished basement apartment that can provide you with a steady income. It has its own separate entrance, one bedroom, a living room, a 3-piece bathroom and a kitchenette. The unit is currently occupied by a single tenant who pays $1,200 per month; the tenant may stay on but is also open to moving.
This lovely single-family home presents a great opportunity to move into a family-friendly neighbourhood that offers a long list of conveniences. It would also make a good investment property: you could live in the home and rent out the basement or choose to rent out both units separately.
