42 Richmond Street

If you’re looking for a home where the expensive, not-so-fun projects have already been tackled, 42 Richmond Street deserves a look. This four-bedroom, one-bath semi-attached home has had a surprising amount of work completed and offers a bright, comfortable space that you can move into now and make your own over time. Much of the interior was taken back to the studs and rebuilt, with new insulation, vapour barrier and 5/8" drywall throughout. The electrical wiring and panel have been upgraded, along with a new hot water tank, updated roof and windows, and a brand-new washer and dryer. Add in updated flooring throughout, and a lot of the work buyers worry about when purchasing an older home has already been addressed. One of the first things you notice inside is just how much natural light this home gets. The living area is bright and spacious, while the kitchen has updated cabinetry, open wood shelving and enough room to add an island, breakfast table or kitchen nook depending on how you want to use the space. Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms plus a bonus room, giving you options. Use all four as bedrooms, or turn the extra room into an office, playroom, dressing room or whatever makes sense for your family. Outside, the new front steps give the home a fresh entrance, and out back there’s a new deck and plenty of yard to work with—garden, entertain, let the kids play, or simply enjoy having some outdoor space of your own. This isn’t a house pretending to be something it isn’t. It’s a solid, affordable home that has had a lot of meaningful work put into it. Located in the heart of the city, with four-bedroom potential and many of the major updates already completed, 42 Richmond Street could be a really smart first home—or simply a great next move.
