Inside, the character-filled main level boasts inviting 9-foot ceilings, sun-filled living spaces, updated windows, and a brand-new electrical panel. The basement expands your usable footprint with a dedicated den and a large built-in hobby workbench.

A detached garage provides secure storage, while dedicated RV hookups add ultimate convenience for travelers or extra vehicles. Much of the infrastructure groundwork is already completed including recently updated municipal roads, sidewalks, stable alley access, and critical services are already brought directly to the lot line. Location is unbeatable for future tenants—situated in an evolving residential growth zone just minutes walking distance from downtown Vernon, local boutique shopping, public transit, parks, and the Schubert Centre.
