Relisted at $699,000, reflecting a $66,000 price reduction. 26 Allen Street is a short walk to the harbour, marina, beaches, cafés and shops, and just steps from the arena and community centre. Houses this size, on a 0.44-acre lot, don?t come up often in the heart of North Rustico, especially with views of the harbour. The main-level deck has harbour views, and the third-level Juliette deck looks out over the water. This home has 2,529 sq-ft of finished space, with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths in the main home plus a 1-bedroom, 1-bath income suite. It?s bright and modern throughout. The open-concept living room has a double-height ceiling that floods the space with natural light, and a charming loft overlooks it from above. The kitchen features quartz counters and custom cabinetry. This home is also very efficient to run. Heat pumps added in 2023 provide climate control to the bedrooms, and a high-efficiency heat pump water heater was added that same year. The kitchen propane fireplace heats the 2-storey main living area and runs without electricity during power outages. In all, about $150,000 in upgrades have gone into the property since 2020, including these mechanical upgrades, electrical for EV charging and a hot tub, and much more. The income suite on the lower level could generate $30,000 in total annual income: about $20,000 as a short-term rental over the four summer months and about $10,000 as a monthly rental over the other eight months. Outside, you?ll find a fenced backyard, a cobblestone walkway, attractive landscaping, a separate storage shed and a large, paved double driveway. Every detail about this property shows real pride of ownership. At its new price, this home deserves a second look. (id:2493)
