Add this Winchester side split to your shopping list

Imagine the convenience of living across the street from your children's school

By Mark Schadenberg

149 Winchester St, Woodstock
MLS: 74191
Asking $224,500
OPEN HOUSE: Sunday, Nov 23, 2-4.

Families most certainly want to live near schools, parks and shopping, and always desire a home on a quiet street, which is hopefully relatively near shopping too.
Check out this 4-bedroom 4-level back split ! Your search is over.
Two Schools
In Woodstock, there is just one public-board French immersion school, and it's found about three blocks from 149 Winchester. The Roch Carrier school is K-8.
If your children are to attend a K-8 school, Winchester Street (go figure ?) Public School is even closer – across the street. The Winchester school also features a gigantic schoolyard for kids, many recent renovations and an addition to create a terrific education facility.
The front of the house creates both privacy and shade.

 


The Winchester side split features several amenities for your family, including an eat-in kitchen with a peninsula (new countertops) and newer patio doors to a large wood deck. The current owners installed the patio door where a window once existed and built the 20' x 18' deck. The gazebo and its awnings would also stay with the home. The fridge would certainly be included, but the high-end stove can be negotiable.
 
 
The hardwood flooring in the front living room and in the three upstairs bedrooms was refinished also by the present owners.
The main bathroom is a nice selling feature with its jetted tub, light in the tub's ceiling, along with newer flooring and newer vanity.
Another important improvement is the lower recroom which was taken back to the original foundation and then re-insulated and new drywall installed. The lower 2pc bathroom is also updated. Also, as the home once had a hair salon by the back door, the fourth bedroom still has plumbing in the walls which could be used to create your indoor spa, or one of many work-at-home uses.
The lowest level includes the mechanicals such as the forced air gas furnace, but also includes the laundry and a ton of storage space with steel shelving that will stay with the home. You could build another recroom here as well since a steel I-beam creates open space.
Other highlights include a security system, many newer windows and a second driveway thanks to a sidewalk cut-out off Warwick Street. The lot has 82 feet of frontage with unique lot dimensions (see below).
