Cross Streets: Church St S and Victoria St W. ** Directions: Victoria St W to Church St S, #46 on corner of Church & Nelson. Driveway is on Nelson St W. Tucked on a corner lot in the heart of Alliston, this circa 1910 two storey has presence from the sidewalk: a gambrel roofline, warm red brick, and a covered front porch. The character survived the century and the updating is already done. Approximately 1,232 square feet above grade opens with stained glass in the entry, a black staircase rising past deep trim and wide cased openings, and a living room warmed by a gas fireplace, open to the dining room. The kitchen is fully updated in white shaker cabinetry with stainless appliances, black hardware and a window over the sink. At the back, a generous mudroom and laundry in patterned tile and shiplap has its own door to the yard, and a powder room sits under the stairs. Upstairs, three bedrooms share a three piece bath with black fixtures. The full basement is unfinished, clean and bright, ready for a workshop or storage. An owned on demand water heater, upgraded insulation, central air and forced air gas heat carry the practical side. Mature trees wrap the lot, with parking for five, three in the detached garage and two on the private drive off Nelson Street. The Alliston Memorial Arena is a two minute walk down Nelson and PPG Park is six minutes up Church Street, with three parks and nine recreation facilities inside a twenty minute walk. Alliston Union PS and Banting Memorial HS are an easy walk, Stevenson Memorial Hospital is minutes away, and the shops and restaurants of Victoria Street are around the corner. (id:27476)
