Property Overview
This 1927 one-and-a-half storey home on a large 6,000 sqft lot on Wellington Crescent South offers a blend of established character and modern updates. Its key appeal lies in its prime location within the Sir John Franklin neighbourhood, a generous lot size that ranks well above average for the street, and a recently renovated basement that adds functional living space. With nearly 2,000 sqft of living area, the home provides ample room.
It would particularly suit buyers looking for a character home in a prestigious area who value outdoor space and the potential that comes with an older, well-situated property. It’s also a strong fit for those who appreciate a home with a sense of history—built 99 years ago, it is notably newer than many of its neighbours, offering a relative advantage in construction era for the area. The detached garage is a plus for those needing workshop space or extra storage.
