111 Garfield Avenue

Period character abounds in this century brick home in the heart of Old South, along with significant updates and lots of room to make it your own. Past improvements include an electrical upgrade, all new double-hung windows, well-maintained high-efficiency furnace and humidifier, central air, stamped concrete driveway with parking for four, detached garage with electricity, new roof and garage door opener and a recently renovated front porch. The charm continues inside with original wide baseboards, beautiful crown moulding, an inviting gas fireplace and a gracious bay window with window seat surrounded by built-in shelves. Upstairs, along with a full bath, are two spacious bedrooms, each with a generous walk-in closet, ceiling fan, character ceilings and gleaming refinished wood floors. The kitchen has a classic three-point layout with an exposed brick feature and unique pillars. Adjacent is a convenient two-piece bath and a den/office looking out to a semi-circular deck and complementary concrete patio, offering privacy but comfortably large enough for entertaining. Storage space is generous on every level, with a second side entrance opening to the main house but also leading to a potential workshop, furnace room and laundry room in the basement. The attractive treed lot, 112 feet deep, is set off by mature shrubs and perennial beds. This property has the best of all worlds - a quiet neighbourhood close to public transport and just minutes from downtown and Wortley Village.
