Some houses absorb history and hold it quietly. 215 Fitzroy is one of them. This is a century home that has been cared for with intention. The bones are original: wide-plank hardwood and softwood floors, a formal staircase, and proportions that newer construction simply does not replicate. What has been added over time is thoughtful. A fully renovated kitchen with a generous island and breakfast bar, anchored by a walk-in pantry with the original cupboards still intact. A new main-floor bathroom with an original clawfoot tub and a standalone shower. The layout respects the original character of the home. A formal living room, formal dining room, large, cozy family room and computer nook anchor the main floor, separated by a gorgeous original stair case, that sets the tone the moment you walk in. The dining room is sized for a table worth gathering around. Upstairs, four large bedrooms, a four-piece bath, an office and a separate laundry room. An upstairs deck off the main hall offers a quiet place to begin or end the day. Many of the major renovations include two heat pumps, 200-amp panel, roof replaced in 2018. windows replaced and a full exterior paint in 2020. The kind of investment a serious seller makes before they list, not after. Then there is the yard. It is the kind of outdoor space that takes years to build, an organic kitchen garden, berry plants, mature fruit trees and extensive perennial flower beds that return and deepen each year. A large deck sized for real entertaining and a brick pathway that connect it all with a sense of intention. Walking distance to downtown Summerside shops, restaurants and the waterfront boardwalk. This is not a project. It is a property for someone who understands the value of a well maintained home in a prime location and what it is worth. (id:27476)
