165 Broadway STREET W This commercially zoned house on Broadway, built in 1949, appears as a traditional bungalow on the outside but, inside has been the home for an arts-based business since 2006. Within the character style windows and traditional arcs are ceramic tile floors through the entire upstairs. Upstairs was renovated to provide a large professional space combining what would have originally been the primary bedroom and living room. This openness is perfect for offices, studios or esthetics as well as would provide a perfect play area for a daycare or children’s centre with deep storage closets throughout. What was once a kitchen still houses a large sink and eclectic cabinetry but has been utilized primarily as an office space. This space can be enclosed with a beautiful original wood barndoor that easily slides between the rooms to offer privacy or quiet as well as an artistic visual. The one “bedroom” has also provided an office or studio space with lots of lovely sunlight and ample room for a regular bedroom set up. The bathroom has updated shower and tap fixtures and the character windows are equipped with privacy panes. The basement has finished walls, including a vapor barrier and hosts a large open space with removable mat flooring – again, excellent for an office addition or a colourful play area for a birthday party. An additional room in the basement that has sound proofing for privacy. The drop ceiling is also sound-proofed with insulation providing sound space. The driveway runs from the Broadway entrance through to a back-alley entrance and the back yard has a partial fence and gate that can be closed. Although it has been inspired as a commercial property with fantastic specs being on Broadway, for the right buyer, it would also suit as a unique home with a large entertainment and dining space and private bedroom with much additional space downstairs. A first place for a professional couple or individual looking for an affordable and cozy home. (id:203)
