About this home
78 Ritchie Street is a mechanics dream investment property!! A unique opportunity to own a custom built non-conforming duplex with potential to convert back into a spacious multi-generational high ranch bungalow in a desirable central west location close to public transit, shopping, restaurants, movie theatres, schools and everyday amenities. This versatile property offers excellent potential for investors, owner occupants or buyers seeking additional income opportunities. Both the upper and lower units feature 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom with functional layouts, laminate flooring throughout and large windows that fill the spaces with natural light. The property offers comfortable living arrangements with flexibility for extended family or tenants. A standout feature is the impressive commercial grade double garage designed for hobbyists, contractors, mechanics or small business use.

A wood electric combination furnace services the main house along with separate baseboard heating in the basement. Extensive fireproofing has been completed with 5/8 fire rated drywall throughout the basement ceiling for added peace of mind. A shared 60 gallon hot water tank services both units while the garage benefits from its own 100 amp electrical service. Central air conditioning services the upper unit and the alarm system currently operates within the garage area. A rare property combining residential flexibility, income potential and exceptional commercial grade garage space in a convenient and accessible location with endless possibilities! Never flooded.
