This historic 1924 Huth family residence on coveted Albert Street offers a unique opportunity as a charming family home or a lucrative Airbnb investment. Available fully furnished, it's located a short walk from Wascana Lake & its parks, across from a green space, and next to the house featured in the movie “Just Friends.” Since purchasing in 2017, the current owner has invested over $80,000 into the home. Though its measurements are modest, this home feels much larger in person! The main level features an expansive living room with a front porch & a cozy reading nook. The original hardwood floors, tall baseboards, & a wood-burning fireplace add timeless character. The spacious dining room includes built-in cabinets for extra storage & organization. The kitchen has been tastefully renovated with upgraded stainless steel appliances (all but stove in 2023) & a built-in pantry. Upstairs, you’ll find three surprisingly large bedrooms for a home of this era, each with generously sized closets. The upper level offers character, from glass doorknobs to crown molding. There’s also a front office connected to one of the bedrooms, providing a versatile space. The bathroom is a true showstopper, featuring dual sinks, a walk-in shower, a stand-alone tub, & exquisite details like intricate floor tiles & wainscoting. The lower level includes a newly added 3-pc bath, a laundry area & storage spaces. The home is equipped with a 200 amp service, a high-efficiency furnace, central air conditioning & a foundation that has already been reinforced! Outside, the mature landscaping provides a private retreat with towering trees, established vines, & a fully fenced yard on a corner lot with a single attached garage. Other upgrades incl. (most) windows on the 2nd level (2023), a side deck, & refreshed paint. The property is highly requested on Airbnb, popular among guests visiting for events at the Mackenzie Art Gallery, RCMP graduations, UofR sports tournaments & various family gatherings. (id:39198)
