The previous owners of this 2,520 sq. ft. home loved the extra income that came from operating a bed and breakfast, but the new owners will fill the six bedrooms with extended family, says agent Faith Wilson.
"The buyers needed the space for their family and loved the character of the home," she says.
As a bed and breakfast the home was known as Columbia Cottage and its English cottage charm attracted the new owners, says Ms. Wilson.
"Neighbours love the heritage and charm this home brings to the neighbourhood and they also liked having a place for friends and family to stay close by, instead of a hotel," she says.
The location, on a corner lot and just blocks from City Hall, appealed to guests and the new owners alike because it is close to downtown, parks, shopping, cafes and schools.
The house was built in 1938 and has been well maintained and updated. Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, the roof was replaced three-years ago, a second hot water tank was added two-years ago and the drain tiles replaced.
Hardwood floors cover the principle living spaces, there is a gas fireplace in the living room and landscaped gardens surrounded by a brick walkway.
