AMAZINGLY PRICED LONDON, ON DUPLEX! Superior Up-&-Down LEGAL DUPLEX (w/ TRI-PLEX potential*) in Old East Village! This well-maintained LEGAL duplex (formerly a TRI-PLEX) is ideally located in a desirable pocket of Old East Village, close to schools, playgrounds, shopping, Western Fair District, & countless other amenities. Featuring separate entrances & separate hydro meters, this property offers flexibility, privacy, & proven strong income. The spacious main unit spans two levels & offers 2 bedrooms with the potential to be used as 3 bedrooms (given the additional living space in lower level) along with an impressive 2 FULL bathrooms. This unit feels like a full house, making it perfect for owner-occupiers or families seeking space & comfort. Helping to offset your mortgage is a great upper-level tenant in the 1 bedroom/1 bathroom unit, creating an ideal live & earn opportunity! The home is in excellent overall condition, making for truly easy "landlording". Major upgrades were completed in 2013, including wiring, plumbing, furnace, & insulation (walls and attic). The roof was replaced in 2011, & renovated bathrooms, kitchen, & windows were completed in 2019. Two full sets of appliances are included. Additional highlights include loads of parking, a fully fenced yard w/ patio & handy garden shed, & a *walk-up lower level (SEPERATE ENTRANCE to LOWER) that could potentially be converted back to a triplex, unlocking even more income. This place is irrefutably loaded with value! Both units are currently rented month-to-month, offering flexibility for investors or owner-occupiers. Live in one unit with strong rental income, or rent both for maximum returns. Turn the key & go - such a good buy! Vacant possession of primary owner occupied 2-level unit available immediately if desired, or keep the owner in that unit at $2100/month + hydro. Excellent upper unit tenant on month to month terms at $1450 + hydro would be happy to stay. $42.6K per yr gross w/ minimal expenses.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $354/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 77 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for London East. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to London East. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
Let's See It Together
Photos only tell part of the story. During our showing, I'll point out things the camera doesn't capture: neighbourhood feel, natural light quality, traffic noise, and overall condition. I'll also share what comparable homes have sold for and help you craft a winning strategy if you decide to move forward.
