You've heard the used car ad "Like new, low mileage, gently driven by an elderly widow". Well, apply that description to this strikingly pretty rug brick bungalow just down the hill from the U of G, tucked quietly on a 60' x 132' maple-shaded lot on Forbes Avenue. I could stop here because really, what else do you need to know? It has the lot, location and condition all covered for you. And at 1,342 sq.ft., it's a bit bigger than most 1960's bungalows, too. So now you're thinking, at this price there has to be a catch. Well, no. No there doesn't. This elderly widow just happens to be wise and forward thinking, replacing things BEFORE they become a problem, kind of a good habit some of us never learn despite the well-known saying... "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Well, if you're the second person who gets to live in this quality Reid and Lang beauty, you'll have a whole new appreciation for old cliches like that. Yes, there's a garage... single and detached. And a mighty nice basement. With permission, there can likely be a self-contained apartment created there. It already has its own outside access, nice 3 pc bath and way more space than you need for yourself. Talk to the City; many of them are downright agreeable. But don't take my word for it, come to our Open House this Thursday 10:00 - 12:00 or Sunday 3:00 to 5:00. I'll see if Mrs. McLean will bake us some cookies.
