70 First Avenue

A very good property comprised of two two-bedroom units at the intersection of First and Kingscourt. That puts you just a block from the Memorial Centre grounds with its dog park and splash pad, its Sunday market and its yoga crowd. Head north and you'll end up at the new high school. It's an area popular with young families, drawn by more affordable homes that aren't too crowded together. 70 First Avenue is a little younger than many of its wartime neighbours as well (it was built in 1957) and with its sleek profile and its metal roof, it's a bit of a standout. Both apartments are stylish and bright and the upper unit has a third room that seems cheeky to call a bedroom, but makes good sense as a nursery or an office. It's also important to note that the lower unit sits nice and high out of the ground; there's nothing subterranean about the vibe here. On-site laundry hook-up is in a common area, and the parking is plentiful. There's even a good garden off to one side that reminds me of the nearby vegetable allotments, a spot, maybe, to grow your own dinner. The renovations are fresh and 70 First Avenue is ready for you and/or your tenants.
