Checklist for your family
A family’s checklist for a home would be at least five items long – backyard for kids, near parks, quiet street, 4 bedrooms, and modern mechanical updates.
Making the grade is 488 Highland Drive in Woodstock, which I just listed.
A young growing family wants (requires) 4 legitimate bedrooms, in which even the smallest is larger than 11’ x 10’. At Highland, the second floor not only features 4 bedrooms, but also a modern 4pc bathroom.
More than one story (storey)
What is interesting is while the home was built in 1958, the second floor was added in 1977.
The main floor and basement is heated by a new (2012) gas furnace, plus there is also a new central air unit. The second floor, meanwhile, has a direct-vent heating and cooling system (Fujitsu). There is an Ener-Guide study completed for the home and the report is available to viewers.
The home’s main floor was modified when the second floor was added, including a steel beam to make a large portion of the main floor one large living room. The spacious front dining room and the living room both have hardwood under the wall-to-wall carpeting. The eat-in kitchen has newer vinyl flooring and countertops, and newer-style doors on the cabinets.
The lower level does require a renovation to re-create the recroom of your family’s needs. There is also a workshop, which currently features woodworking equipment. The hot tub in the well-built and insulated cedar-lined spa room will be included in the sale of the house in ‘as is’ condition.
The backyard could be an oasis for the gardener, but probably best utilized as a playground for the kids. This property is actually wider at the back (58’) compared to the frontage.
Home’s additional amenities include central vac, six appliances (two fridges are available) and a large storage shed.
As you walk north on Highland and just over the hill you will walk right into Roth Park and the almost unending link of trails along Pittock Lake. Woodstock’s trail system is certainly one of the community’s gems.
