About this home
INVESTOR ALERT! It's all about LOCATION! You've heard it before. Whenever purchasing property one the most important items that needs to be checked off is location. This one is hard to beat. This well preserved character home is located at the base of Knox Mountain and just blocks away from the lake. This 1946 chic home still has the original steel double kitchen sink with built in drain boards, original arborite countertops and built-ins, including a Murphy bed in the first bedroom. Located at the end of a street in a cul de sac, it's in a perfectly quiet neighbourhood setting. Sitting on a 1979 foundation the home offers a well sized in-law suite with shared laundry. There is ample parking for boats, RV's or your car collection. Kids and pets will love the quiet backyard that borders a secluded field with no direct neighbours behind you. With Knox Mountain at your doorstep you can be hiking the trails in minutes. Just move in and make this your own or rent it out and use it for an extra source of income while holding it for future development. The potential is endless. Priced well under assessed value, don't miss out on your chance to own this great property.
Highlights & things to check
Highlights
- Full basement with a kitchen, family room, bedroom, 3-piece bath and laundry room, which the listing describes as an in-law suite.
- Okanagan Lake is about 720 m away and Kelowna town centre about 1.5 km, straight-line.

Things to check
- Ask for the age of the roof and furnace, as the listing does not give them.
- Ask the City of Kelowna whether the basement suite is permitted under current zoning.
- Ask for exact lot dimensions, since the lot is listed as irregular in size.
- Ask what updates have been done since the home was built in 1946.
