Some homes are built to sell. This one was built to last. 517 Norfolk St S was constructed in 1956 by its original owner, a builder who built it for himself, with every detail chosen with care. The quality of those bones is still evident today. Solid brick construction, oversized attached double garage, and just under an acre of mature private land in town. In the last five years the home has been significantly refreshed with a newly updated kitchen, new windows, new roof, updated flooring, and a fresh coat of paint throughout. The kind of home you stop maintaining and start enjoying, while planning what comes next. The lower level features a separate side entrance with open layout. Strong conversion potential for an in-law suite or income unit. For anyone who works with their hands or runs a business the detached steel workshop alone is worth the drive out. Two bedrooms on the main floor. Hardwood floors. Stone fireplace. Screened front porch. Expansive backyard with room to expand, build, or simply enjoy. This is the kind of property that rarely comes available and won't stay available long.
Welcome to 517 Norfolk St. S. , a timeless property with a rich story and rare craftsmanship you can feel from the moment you arrive. Built in 1957 by Mr. Thomas Leslie, a skilled builder who constructed the home with exceptional care for his own family. This charming ranch-style bungalow sits on about an acre of beautifully landscaped land surrounded by mature trees and sweeping green space. Thoughtfully and lovingly maintained over the years, this home has had only three owners. Today, it seamlessly blends original character with meaningful updates. Inside, you'll find five spacious rooms, a grand living room with oversized picture windows, a hand-built stone fireplace (no longer functioning) with custom shelving, and warm finishes throughout. A large window fills the dining room with natural light, while the kitchen offers retro charm and practicality with a built-in pantry, double sink and windows overlooking the backyard. The basement is an entertainer's dream, with a large recreation room, built-in snack bar, workshop, and indirect lighting for cozy evenings. The newer windows and roof (replaced within the last 10 years), and a professionally upgraded septic system (1996), offer peace of mind. What sets this home apart? The impressive newly-built detached garage. Ideal for hobbyists or small business owners. Offers ample workspace, storage, and versatility. Add in the original two-car garage, large round drive, and youre ready for anything.
