Don't come to this home unless you're prepared to fall in love. On one of Strathcona's most coveted tree-lined blocks, home to the legendary Union Street Block Party, this character home has the warmth and soul that's becoming increasingly rare. Lovingly maintained with much of its original character intact, it offers bright, welcoming spaces, timeless appeal, and an effortless connection to the garden. Out back, the former garage has been thoughtfully transformed into a delightful detached studio/guest suite—perfect for guests, a home office, or a mortgage helper. No wasted space—just a home full of warmth and character. Some houses simply feel right the moment you walk through the door. This is one of them. OPEN HOUSE: Sunday, August 16th, 2- 4 pm
