Welcome to 5 Melinda Avenue, a perfectly situated 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom split entry on a generous 1.1 acre lot. Affectionately termed the "gem" of this peaceful, family-friendly neighbourhood, it is obvious from your first step inside: this home has been the pride and joy of its one previous owner.

Natural light floods through the large picture window in the living room, its brick fireplace a beautiful focal point of this spacious area. Used often in the home's earlier years, it has laid quiet for the last few. It's ready for adding that special ambiance any time!

More light floods through the patio doors into the dining room. The deck outside has a new floor of pressure treated decking.

The cozy carpeting gives way to modern ceramic tile in the eat-in kitchen, the dark blue countertop contrasting smartly to give a timeless palette.

Down the hall is a beautiful full bathroom with vinyl flooring and three good-size carpeted bedrooms, one recently changed into a cozy sitting room. From the carpets, floors and paintwork it's evident the home is spotless and well maintained.

The lower level has a laundry room with vinyl floor, large carpeted rec room with wood stove, an office and a remaining unfinished area partitioned into two rooms. The walls have gyproc and most of the floor is carpeted. The potential is there for a second bathroom, a fitness area, and a storage room. Or will it boast a grand workshop or hobby area?

House is wired for an alarm system and fibre internet/telephone. Electric baseboard heaters provide zoned heating with individual thermostats. Hot water is supplied by an electric water heater.

The home faces south and sits on a 1.1 acre lot on the north side of Melinda Avenue between Crowell Road and David Allen Drive. More than 75% of the property remains naturally wooded with a mix of typical east coast hardwood and softwood trees. The area surrounding the home is landscaped with shrubs and established perennial gardens.

This is a home to make your own. Inside it's ready to move in, yet full of potential. And outside, it has the perfect private yard, ready for playtimes with the kids or hosting bbqs with friends. First time buyers, the little gem awaits....
