897 ELIAS STREET — London East (East G), Ontario

Welcome to a home with genuine character in one of London's most sought-after neighbourhoods. This all-brick bungalow blends timeless detail with everyday ease - an ideal fit for first-time buyers planting roots, young professionals craving walkable city living, or those downsizing without compromise. From the curb, the brick façade and original arched stained glass window set the tone - this is a home with a story to tell. Step inside to warm laminate floors, a cozy corner fireplace, and bright, sun-filled rooms that feel instantly like home. The open dining area flows into a generous kitchen with solid wood cabinetry and stainless appliances - gather here, cook here, make memories here. Three comfortable bedrooms and a full bath round out a smart, easy-living layout, with the added convenience of main-floor laundry. At the back, a versatile office opens directly to the backyard - the perfect work-from-home setup or quiet reading nook. Out back is where you'll fall in love: a deep, beautifully treed lot offering rare privacy in the heart of the city. Picture summer evenings under the canopy, morning coffee on the patio, and a garden that's all your own - a quiet retreat just steps from the action. You're moments from the cafés, restaurants, craft breweries, galleries, and the beloved Western Fair Farmers' Market that give Old East Village its unmistakable energy - with downtown, the Thames Valley trails, and major routes all close at hand. This is the kind of neighbourhood where you know your barista, walk to dinner, and actually feel part of something. For the discerning buyer, peace of mind is built in: a new roof (2023), energy-efficient windows, freshly painted interior, waterproofed basement, upgraded plumbing and electrical, and several transferable warranties - the big work is already done. Character, comfort, and community in one rare package. Call this one home. (id:63357)
