The big sell: This mid-1990s house on King Edward Avenue just east of Main Street features two storeys with identical 896-square-foot dimensions on both levels. There are three bedrooms upstairs alongside two bathrooms, and two bedrooms downstairs with one bathroom. Kitchens and living spaces on both floors, along with a private entrance off the tiled foyer to the ground-floor suite, present the opportunity for rental income. In addition, there is a laundry room by the foyer that serves both levels. Listing agent Michael Tudorie says the home has been under the same ownership since it was built. The residence has matching white Shaker-style cabinets in the kitchens and bathrooms and a neutral colour palette throughout.
