Don't let the 70's look on the outside fool you! Step into 18 Islington Ave. and you will be amazed! This updated home will impress you with over $100,000 in updates since 2021. Foyer has an open rod iron staircase leading to the upper or lower levels. Main floor offers open concept living with a sitting area, dining room and kitchen. No carpet in this home with care free laminate and ceramic flooring. Stunning updated kitchen (2022) is my personal favourite with bright, white cabinetry featuring floor-to-ceiling pantry, pull out drawers/organizers, under cabinet lighting, porcelain white farmhouse sink, stone countertop and ceramic backsplash. I love the black hardware, too as a contrast and classic lighting plus pot lights. The generous island has live edge countertop and plenty of storage with pull outs. The appliances are stainless LG and gas stove has five burners. Layout is perfect for entertaining as well as casual family gatherings. Three bedrooms on the main level and 4 pc bath with tub, modern sink and spacious vanity. Primary bedroom has two closets with custom closet organizers. Head to the lower level for movie night! Make popcorn and grab a beverage in the wet bar area. Sit in the cozy recreation room for conversation, TV or video games. 4 pc bath is convenient and an extra bedroom makes this a great space for teens or in-laws. Laundry room and utility area are in the lower level as well. Outside is a summer retreat with above ground pool with decking (sellers are happy to remove if buyer prefers), patio area and plenty of grass for pets and kids. Garage has a heater and room for a workshop plus a car! Most windows/front and rear doors (2021), basement windows (1998), furnace/cac (2017), interior doors/trim (2022), rewired and inspected (2021) with 200 amp, siding/soffits, facia, downspouts (2021).
