Remarks

Charming Willow Glen home with additional unit (750 sf.) on lot. Each home has spacious updated kitchens, laundry rooms and private fenced yards. The front unit (#79) was remodeled within the last 5 years with multiple designer accents, recessed lighting, shaker-style cabinets and stainless appliances in the large kitchen (with city permits). The bath was totally remodeled. 79 Lester also has forced air gas furnace and air conditioning. The private rear yard is ideal for warm weather entertaining with a patio and artificial turf for low maintenance. The rear unit (#81) includes an updated kitchen and bath. The private fenced yard has artificial turf and room for a peaceful outdoor eating area. The three car garage and bonus room (workshop) are ideal as parking is limited on Lester Ave. There is ample room for cars, storage and recreational vehicles. Unique opportunity close to the bustling downtown area.
