About this home
Welcome to this charming red brick home in the heart of Old East Village - one of London's most vibrant and rapidly evolving neighbourhoods, known for its character homes, local markets, artisan shops, and strong sense of community. Just minutes to Downtown London, this location offers unmatched convenience with quick access to restaurants, entertainment, transit, and everyday amenities. Built circa 1890, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates, making it an ideal opportunity for first-time buyers, small families, or investors. The main floor has been tastefully refreshed (2025) with new paint, updated light fixtures, and a functional layout that maximizes space and natural light. The kitchen features a newly replaced stove and microwave (2025), while added pantry and closet space in the primary bedroom improves everyday living and storage. Major mechanical updates provide peace of mind, including furnace and A/C (2015), and replacement of the lead water service from the curb into the home (2021). The roof is approximately 10-12 years old. The standout feature is the fully redesigned backyard (2025), offering a private, turnkey outdoor space with all new landscaping, patio, fencing, and garden beds. A newly built shed equipped with 60-amp service adds flexibility for a workshop, studio, or additional storage. The front exterior has also been enhanced with updated garden beds, new porch decking (2025), and a new front screen door. Additional updates include window coverings (2024), contributing to a move-in ready experience. A rare opportunity to own a character home with meaningful upgrades in one of London's most sought-after urban neighbourhoods.
