Description

OPEN HOUSE Sunday 11/12 2:00pm to 3:30pm!!! Room to grow. Classic and Elegance in the heart of Kensington. Welcome to 311 East 5th Street! Built in 1915, this barrel front limestone has been lovingly cared for and features solidly crafted original woodwork and period details. Upon entering the parlour floor, you are greeted by the beautiful bay windows lined with stained glass and custom wood shutters. Inlaid pocket doors open up to a spacious dining room with built-in wood cabinetry. The eat-in kitchen overlooks the deck and the yard making it easy to entertain your friends. Three large bedrooms are upstairs on the 2nd floor as well as a recently renovated bathroom with a skylight bringing in an abundance of natural light. Looking for more space? Well, there is also a full basement that is ideal for additional living space or perhaps a great office space if you are a budding entrepreneur and need a space to meet clients. East 5th Street was ranked as one of the best streets in Kensington by StreetAdvisor! Just minutes away from the F train at Church Avenue along with a variety of shopping options. Some highly recommended dining options include La Loba Catina and ButterFunk Kitchen. Truly a rare opportunity to own such a fine home!
