About 491 26th St
Affordable, renovated rancher with beautiful gardens. Don’t let the central location next to shopping fool you—this two-bedroom, one-bathroom home feels like a small homestead in the middle of the city. Lovingly cared for, with updates including engineered hardwood floors in the living room, hall and bedroom, a new water tank, renovated bathroom, a new deck, new fence and a new drainage. The functional kitchen with walk-in pantry is set up to process the bounty from your own backyard. Fruit trees, berries, garden beds, and a greenhouse will keep you busy and your family fed. Originally a three-bedroom, it can be easily converted back. Spacious driveway with two gates, fully fenced backyard for your privacy, garage with new garage opener, and powered shed add practicality. On main bus routes and walking distance to shops and services, it’s a great fit for someone seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle without needing a car. Move-in ready and priced to make homeownership more accessible.
