Four bedrooms, main-floor family room addition, large workshop lead list of highlights
Ingersoll Ave. is near parks, school and library
By Mark Schadenberg
Real
estate can be described as a commodity and sometimes when there is
just one item available, but four or five interested parties, the
price of that commodity becomes strong.
A
story with a mirror to this scenario is my new listing at 419
Ingersoll Avenue in Woodstock. (MLS:75534)
The
55 x 150 property backs on to Brighton Street, and on that secondary
road there is frontage to the detached two-storey two-car garage
workshop. Up until recently, the owner had an expansive woodworking
shop on the second floor. I mention the heavy equipment just in case
someone might question the soundness of the structure. It's a
terrific workshop. The shop measures 24' x 21' and has its own hydro
breaker box. Naturally, the workshop is not the top selling point of
this listing, but it's a selling item that will certainly draw a lot
of interest.
There is also a single-car garage attached to the house
The
house has four bedrooms, but with one of those bedrooms adjacent to
another, one could expect a future owner might convert a bedroom to a
walk-in closet. The back two bedrooms both have hardwood floors.
The
4pc bathroom does require some attention from the next owner.
The
layout of the main floor is spacious because a family room was added
in the late 1960's. The exterior of the family room is vinyl siding
and the room provides an access doors to the garage and to the
backyard. The convenience of main-floor laundry is in a corner of
this family room.
Under
the family room is a full basement, which includes a modest recroom
with a pool table. Two antique pews will also stay with the home as
it would be difficult to remove them
Large
principle rooms on the main floor as the front living room and
separate dining room are both quite large, and both feature hardwood
flooring. The front bay window is a positive for architecture.
The
kitchen includes lots of cabinetry and shelving, and the fridge and
stove could stay with the home, but this important living space does
require a modern update. The dinette area is smartly located by a
side window – providing a room with a view.
The
3pc bathroom off the kitchen includes a shower, but also the room
continues into a pantry / hallway area which was ideally created with
cupboards and to also go back to the family room as well.
Besides
the fridge and stove, washer and dryer, this home also includes a
water softener and water treatment system. The central air unit is
just one year old and the high efficiency gas furnace is also newer.
The panel box has been updated to breakers. The basement provides a
ton of storage as the owner excavated areas which had not been dug
out previously.
This
listing is an estate sale, so the family representing the property
can not and will not make any formal representations on the condition
of appliances or the home itself, but it is certainly is a solid
structure which requires a few updates.
Another
feature which will attract great interest to this home is the covered
front porch / sun room.
Yet
another top highlight is the wonderful location with
a short walk to Victoria and VanSittart parks, and close vicinity to
the library and three schools, including Holy Family French immersion
on Oxford Street and Woodstock Collegiate.
