About this home
CLICK TO VIEW VIDEO: In today’s market, flexibility matters, and 689 Ellis Street gives you options. Live in one space and rent the other, accommodate extended family, hold as an investment, or explore reconnecting the existing stairwell to create a full 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom downtown Penticton home. The bright upper level retains the character of a mature home with hardwood flooring, an inviting living room, practical kitchen and dining area. 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom. Downstairs, a separate entrance leads to a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom non-conforming suite with its own kitchen and comfortable living area and large storage room. Shared laundry helps both levels function independently. Important improvements include a 2018 roof, multiple updated windows, newer forced-air gas furnace and central A/C, while newer stucco and established greenery create attractive curb appeal. Outside you'll find a detached storage shed and 4 designated parking spaces. The central location puts Pen High, downtown shopping, restaurants and everyday amenities within easy reach. With RM2 Low Density Multiple Housing zoning, buyers can also explore longer-term redevelopment possibilities. Income potential, flexible living and future options; all in the heart of Penticton.
