Welcome to 326 Vancouver Avenue N, a thoughtfully upgraded property offering comfortable main floor living along with the added flexibility of a fully permitted legal basement suite. The bright main level features a spacious living room with a gas fireplace, a crisp white kitchen with generous cabinetry, and a dining area with direct access to the rear deck. Neutral finishes and durable flooring carried throughout, while the main floor laundry provides excellent storage and everyday convenience. The bathroom is highlighted by a steam shower system. Extensive mechanical, plumbing and electrical improvements add significant value behind the walls. Features include air conditioning, a Viessmann 96% high-efficiency boiler, forced-air heating, an 80-gallon sidearm water heater and a new 200-amp electrical panel. Plumbing has been comprehensively updated with PEX water lines and ABS drainage, including replacement of the original cast-iron drainage beneath the concrete floor. The main water service has also been upgraded to poly, and a main backwater valve has been installed. The legal basement suite is designed with privacy and comfort in mind, offering a private entrance, separate laundry, kitchen, spacious living area, two bedrooms and its own outdoor seating area. Four-zone in-floor heat allows individual temperature control in both bedrooms, the living/kitchen area and bathroom, while a dedicated HRV provides ventilation. Rockwool insulation in the floor system and interior walls, together with a sound-bar system between levels, helps reduce sound transfer. Outside, enjoy a large deck with natural gas BBQ outlet, patio space, mature yard and plenty of lawn. An oversized 18’ x 30’ double detached garage w/ in floor heat and electrical panel which can accommodate an EV charger or welder completes this versatile property—an excellent option for an owner wanting supplemental rental income or an investor seeking a home with a properly permitted secondary suite.
