26 McKenzie Street

Welcome to 26 McKenzie Street, a classic 1957 north-end bungalow, BUT with the bonus of a detached single-car garage! This home has been owned and loved by the same family since 1962. There is so much potential in this home, whether you wish to lovingly preserve all the original features or fully update it. When entering the front door, you will be greeted by a bright, spacious living room featuring original hardwood floors. The plaster ceilings and walls are all in excellent shape throughout the main floor. If you love the 1950s era, you will love this original kitchen with original hardware, countertops, & a beautiful turquoise backsplash! There is a good amount of cupboard space, & it offers the classic working triangle layout. The dining area is open to the kitchen & offers a closet that could be used as a pantry. The three bedrooms feature original hardwood floors, original unpainted wood doors, & trim. The family's four-piece bathroom is conveniently located close to all the bedrooms. The charming original linen cupboard is built in at the end of the hallway. Downstairs, there is a family room & an additional bedroom, all with walls finished with the classic wood panelling used during the 50-70's era. The wood fireplace is no longer functioning, but a gas insert would be a great way to bring it back to life. The really large utility/storage room is where the new high-efficiency furnace (installed June 2025, along with a new AC unit) is located & this area could easily be divided up to develop a further finished space, like a bathroom. The laundry area is set off to the side in its own room. Outside the home sits on a 68.5 ft wide x 87.69 ft deep lot, plenty of space to enjoy, but not overwhelming to maintain! Near the end of this quiet street is the Grantham Rail Trail, a 3.6 km trail, which makes getting to the local elementary schools and the nearby Catholic High School very convenient. This home encapsulates all the reasons the North End is so sought after!
