165 Broadway Street W

Commercially zoned house on Broadway, built in 1949, appears as a traditional bungalow on the outside but, inside has been the home for an arts-based business since 2006. Within the character style windows and traditional arcs are ceramic tile floors through upstairs. The upstairs was renovated to provide a large professional space combining what would have originally been the primary bedroom and living room. This openness is perfect for offices, studios or esthetics and would provide a perfect play area for a daycare or children’s centre with deep storage closets. What was once a kitchen still houses a large sink and eclectic cabinetry but has been utilized primarily as an office space, fitting a large desk and waiting area. This space can be enclosed with a beautiful original wood barndoor that easily slides between the rooms to offer privacy or quiet. The one “bedroom” has also provided an office or studio space with lovely sunlight and ample room for a regular bedroom set up. The bathroom has updated shower and tap fixtures and the character windows are equipped with privacy panes. The basement has finished walls, including a vapor barrier and hosts a large open space with removable mat flooring – again, excellent for an office addition or a colourful play area for a birthday party. An additional room in the basement that has sound proofing for privacy. The drop ceiling is also sound-proofed with insulation providing sound space between levels. The driveway runs from Broadway entrance through to a back-alley entrance. The back yard has a partial fence and gate that can be closed. Although it has been inspired as a commercial property with fantastic specs being on Broadway, for the right buyer, it would also suit as a unique home with a large entertainment, dining space and private bedroom with much additional space downstairs for an exercise room or storage. A first place for a professional couple or individual looking for an affordable and cozy home. (id:54626)
