The exterior finishes on this two-storey, two-family home – including vertical board-and-batten siding, wood shingles and stone-based pilasters – will make this a welcome addition to any neighbourhood where duplex zoning is permitted.

Both homes are identical, and each has a garage, so on-street parking won’t be a problem. A trellised fence divides the lot.

On the main floor of both homes, entry is through a compact foyer and into the great room. A coat closet is tucked into the angle of the stairway to the second floor.

The great room’s gas fireplace will make this room a magnet for family activities during the cooler months, while the patio just outside the dining room will provide a delightful oasis for summertime meals.

The kitchen, divided from the dining area and great room by a prep island, features a space-saving L-shaped counter configuration, as well as a large walk-in pantry. A window over the double sink will let in lots of natural light.

A den on the main floor is close to a two-piece lavatory, as well as the laundry room, which has access to the single garage.

Upstairs, the master bedroom enjoys a three-piece ensuite, as well as a spacious walk-in closet with a window. The second and third bedrooms share a three-piece bath.

Next to the linen closet on the stair landing is a triangular display case for collectibles.

The main floor of each home measures 842 square feet, and the second floor 725 square feet, for a total of 1,567 square feet of living space. The building’s footprint measures 36 feet and four inches wide and 69 feet, one inch deep, for a grand total of 3,134 square feet.
