The history

Built in 1987, the home went through extensive renovations five years ago. The owner updated the electrical and plumbing and closed off a stairwell to create a separate unit in the basement. Last year, the owner also installed new oak hardwood flooring on the main floor. The owner decided to downsize and rent out the upper levels.

Major perks

Well, there’s the Jacuzzi. Also, there’s a patio outside the kitchen, and the backyard is equipped with a barbecue and patio furniture—ideal for summer parties.

Possible deal breaker

The owner lives in the basement unit. So your landlord might randomly drop in on said parties.
