Every house has a story, but not every home can surprise you. This Old East Village bungalow may look quaint and unassuming from the street, but step inside and you'll quickly see it's full of unexpected space. Originally built in 1890, it still showcases the character buyers love in this neighbourhood: original pine hardwood floors, 9 ft ceilings, and oversized windows that flood the home with natural light. A thoughtfully designed addition has nearly doubled the size of the home, including a full-height finished basement, bringing the total to over 2,000 square feet of functional living space. Worried about the upkeep of an older home? Many of the big ticket updates have already been taken care of: Windows (2018) Front and Rear Door (2024/25)Roof shingles & gutters (2022) Furnace & A/C (2017) Electrical panel & most wiring (2017) Bathroom renovation (Bath Fitter) The main floor features two bedrooms and a renovated bathroom, along with spacious principal rooms including a cozy living area and formal dining space. The updated kitchen offers an open concept layout with breakfast bar seating: perfect for everyday living and entertaining. At the rear of the home, a bright den with French doors opens onto the patio, creating an ideal spot to unwind with a book or morning coffee. Downstairs, the full height basement spans the entire footprint of the home and offers incredible flexibility, with space for a recreation room, home office, games area, guest bedroom, and more. Outside, the fully fenced backyard feels like a private garden, complete with mature shade trees and a storage shed. The private concrete driveway (not shared) comfortably accommodates three vehicles. If you're new to the city, Old East Village is one of London's best-kept secrets: an affordable historic neighbourhood just minutes from downtown, with its own vibrant culture including craft breweries, artisan shops, and local destinations like 100 Kellogg Lane, The Factory, and the Hard Rock Hotel.
