Not every buyer wants three flights of stairs, and in Riverside South under $570K, a true two-storey freehold with this much space, a private south-facing yard with no rear neighbours, a gazebo, and mature trees is a harder find than most expect. From the moment you step into the foyer, the layout just makes sense. Hardwood floors carry you through to a spacious dining room and into a living room with a vaulted ceiling, anchored by a gas fireplace that earns its keep from October through April. The eat-in kitchen is designed for real use, with generous cabinetry, plenty of prep space, and a sliding door that puts you on the deck in three steps. Upstairs, both bedrooms are comfortable and well-sized, sharing a 4-piece bath with soaker tub and glass shower. The open loft is where the flexibility lives, working as a home office today and easily converting to a third bedroom when the time comes. Downstairs, the finished rec room with its own fireplace and crown moulding is the kind of space that quietly becomes everyone's favourite room, and a roughed-in bathroom is ready to add even more to this already generous home when you are. For a first-time buyer or young family ready to put their own stamp on a well-laid-out home with real potential, without the stair-climbing that comes with a three-storey, this one is worth a serious look. All of this, minutes from schools, parks, LRT, and the full retail corridor along Strandherd Drive. Check out the virtual tour and book your showing today.
