New listing features hardwood flooring and 'perfect' pocket doors with bevelled glass
Central Woodstock location offers versatile zoning and convenience
By Mark Schadenberg
Older homes have terrific
character – my new listing at 40 Perry Street in Woodstock has
charm and character, and it's ideal for first-time buyers and/or a
single person.
Traditional homes usually
feature large formal dining rooms with hardwood flooring and an
adjoining (but separate) living room with hardwood. The 2-bedroom
semi I just listed at 40 Perry definitely has this exact idea, but is
also highlighted by working double pocket doors with bevelled glass
(See the photos). It's odd that today's new homes often lack pocket
doors as they were so convenient for not having a swing door which
could/would collide with furniture. Another factor might be that
today's building code includes a requirement for electrical outlets
just about everywhere, which then translates into wiring and switches
in walls where a pocket door could slide through instead.
The Perry semi also
features original chestnut trim and tall ceilings.
There are two bedrooms
(both with hardwood) and next to the eat-in kitchen is a den, which
could be a third bedroom. A professional painter has also created a
bright move-in condition appearance to most of the interior.
The front sunroom is
heated and includes ceramic tile, so it's much more than a foyer or a
destination for your kids' snow pants. You could use this space as an
office.
The side door sunroom is
freshly painted and includes enough area for golf clubs, bicycle and
camping gear, but not a trampoline (pictured below).
The eat-in kitchen is
actually not connected to the neighbouring semi, and includes an
abundance of solid wood (freshly painted) cabinets and 3 appliances
(fridge and stove are quite new).
The washer and dryer in the lower
level laundry area would also be included with the sale.
The entire home features
updated vinyl windows. The 3-year-old roof is also an overall
improvement as the shingles are a 40-year brand and style, and their
warranty can be transferred to the next owner.
Vacant for your quick
possession, this semi has had the same owner for about 40 years with
many more updates – breaker panel box, plumbing systems, water
treatment device, and both the water heater and softener are owned
and would certainly stay.
As many older homes have
lately been retro-fitted to include sump pumps, the back-up generator
for this amenity would also remain with the home at closing. The
basement is dry and a great area for storing your high school science
text books and photo albums or your many trips to African Lion
Safari.
Outside, the detached
workshop / storage shed has hydro so it could certainly be utilized
for your hobby.
The central Woodstock
location results in a convenient 'Entrepreneurial' zoning. It is
possible to convert this address into an office building, but could
certainly also be a work-at-home destination.
It's location is important
as the property is about one city block south of Dundas, so it's a
short walk to the seven-plex movie theatre, Market Square theatre,
the museum and art gallery, city hall, restaurants (Fritzie's is
practically next door), stores and many historic buildings.
