Incredibly flexible, surprisingly chic, and fresh to the market at an outstanding price point - 1243 Whitley Street sits in a quieter pocket of Central Preston, prepared to be put to new purpose by its next lucky owner.  Newly painted, awash in natural light and very tidy, this three-bedroom (1+2) bungalow boasts ample space for a work-from-home setup, room for larger gatherings with family and friends in a charming living room with gas fireplace and custom stone surround and a kitchen to match, featuring granite countertops, abundant prep and storage space, and a gas range.  Moving down the hall from the kitchen and past a neatly designed built-in, you'll discover an unexpectedly large primary bath complete with an oversized Maxx soaker tub and roomy stand up shower enclosure.  The primary bedroom lies across the way to the front of the home, with its large step-out closet and bright double-aspect window sets.  Residing downstairs are two additional bedrooms, plus a handy utility and laundry space.  Heading back upstairs and outside via the living room's sliding doors, take your time to take in a fenced yard that features a deck (complete with hot tub), a sizable gazebo with natural gas line for BBQs and warm weather entertaining, plus a storage shed and gated side access leading through to the property's party-piece - a 25x25 detached garage/workshop.  This space is separately metered for gas and hydro with a new roof having been installed in 2023, and is independently heated and cooled.  Future uses for this space are limited only by your imagination!  This home sits right around the corner from Riverside Park, within 5 minutes of the shopping and amenities of both Downtown Preston and Hespeler Road, and less than 10 minutes from the 401 at Highway 24.
