With a new roof in 2024, a furnace replaced in 2021, a detached 1.5-car insulated garage with an updated door, and parking for six cars on a 66' x 109' lot, most of the big-ticket items are done. Best of all, you are a short walk to U of G, Stone Road Mall, riverfront trails, top schools, and bus stops. 274 Water St is a rare find in a landmark neighbourhood.
