Cross Streets: Alma Street and Hammond. ** Directions: From Balaclava Street turn west onto Hammond and then North onto Alma. Tucked beside Waterworks Park at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this unique property combines a versatile multi-bay garage/workshop and a welcoming, light-filled home. Sun pours in through generous windows and skylights, highlighting the gleaming hardwood floors in the family and dining rooms. The kitchen offers excellent storage, plenty of countertops, and a built-in island nook that creates a warm, open gathering space. The main level includes a comfortable bedroom and a 4-piece bathroom. Upstairs, you'll find two additional well-proportioned bedrooms accented by charming dormer windows. The finished lower level adds even more flexibility, with a second living area, two multipurpose rooms ideal for hobbies, office space, or a playroom, plus a furnace room and a former laundry room with hookups still in place. The standout feature is the expansive garage complex. Designed for maximum adaptability, it can function as both a traditional garage and a serious workshop. Part of the space is already set up for potential in-law, with its own 3-piece bathroom, laundry area, and a separate entrance with backyard access. With no stairs and a walk-in shower, it's particularly well-suited for those with mobility needs. If a larger shop is your priority, you can open the partial wall to create one continuous workshop area, with storage to spare. This area includes its own furnace, air extraction, and dust collection system-great for serious projects or a home-based business. Outdoors, the property feels like a private retreat. Enjoy the deck, mature trees, and hot tub, all in a tranquil, park-side setting that feels far removed from city bustle. Pet owners will value the invisible fencing, allowing dogs to roam safely. With a durable metal roof installed in 2018 and an exceptional combination of privacy, serenity, and highly adaptable space, this home offers opportunities that is unique. (id:27476)
