40 WESTMORELAND ROAD - $395,000

The Essentials

A three-plus-two brick bungalow in Strathcona Park.

The Slightly Bigger Picture

The tenants have asked that I not take pictures of the interior here, and fair enough. The floor plans might be more useful anyway, I think. Let me describe it for you instead. This brick bungalow sits halfway down the block on the west side of Westmoreland Road, at the heart of Strathcona Park. There are three bedrooms upstairs and two more (and a second bathroom) down below. With a separate entrance to that lower level, the creation of a second unit may well be the best, most lucrative way forward here, although a pretty and spacious single-family home is there for the taking too. I’d be surprised if there isn’t wood flooring under the old carpet, and I spied an original fireplace behind the big-screen TV set up in the living room. The chimney looks good, so you probably have options there. The kitchen and bathrooms are original and you’ll likely replace both, and the basement has a serious amount of wood paneling. Clean it up and film a new season of Wayne’s World in that rec room, that’s my thought. Sell tickets to get in. There’s no garage but a paved driveway and a pretty mature garden behind the house.
