About this home
Forced appreciation opportunity in historic East Galt! This 2.5-storey century home offers over 1,800 sq. ft. on a rare double lot, with a garage and parking for 6. A compelling opportunity for investors and house hackers looking to acquire a property with existing income, flexibility, and significant future upside.

Zoned R4, the property offers exciting potential to explore increased residential density, including multiplex conversion. The double lot further appeals to investors seeking efficient use of the existing footprint. Whether you're looking to house hack, establish a stronger rental portfolio, or pursue a longer-term value-add strategy, this property offers multiple paths to growth. Minutes from historic downtown Galt, trails, and local amenities. A rare combination of land, income, and future potential.
