Overview
Description
This European-style brick split-bungalow at the top of Truro's Harris Avenue backs onto peaceful woods and features a fenced in and landscaped back yard. The main level hosts 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath in addition to a half-bath ensuite. There's also another full bath and one-bedroom in-law suite (rented) on the lower level. Recent upgrades include a larger kitchen island, 2 heat pumps, a new 200-AMP electrical entrance and efficient electric baseboard heaters that are less than a year old. The open concept dining and kitchen area give you the option of a wood fireplace insert to save even more on heating as you look out over the back deck and garden. Another key feature is that the front foyer opens onto the street with a solid concrete balcony that's 30 feet long and features Mediterranean brick arches, from here you can watch the kids head off to school at the recently-built Truro Elementary School. This one is priced for a quick sale, since the owners have been eyeing a place closer to family. Quality, choice neighbourhood and reasonable price combine to give you good timing for a home with a bright future! (and did we mention there are two daycares just down the street?)
