Unlikely

This ultra sophisticated, extensively renovated and fully legal three-bedroom century duplex sits proudly near the top of a cul-de-sac in the midst of one of the most desirable neighbourhoods in Downtown Kitchener.  23 Richmond Avenue backs directly onto the urban oasis that is Victoria Park, and is positioned perfectly to either continue serving as possibly the coolest mortgage-helper around, or to be recalibrated as a stylish single-family home.  The current owner has made the most of both their career in architecture and passion for local history in sparing no detail either inside or out, upstairs or down - making the living spaces spread across three finished levels an absolute pleasure in which to be immersed.   Buyers with an ecologically conscious approach are sure to feel right at home with the energy efficient features found in every aspect of this property.  Full R30+ insulation guarantees warmth in the winter and cool comfort in the summer, an efficient touch complimented by extensive heated flooring and radiant heating provided by the brand-new gas-powered water tank.  There's no need for a furnace in this plaster-free smart home, which also boasts efficient designer lighting throughout, and ethernet/co-ax accessibility in practically every room.  Each unit is independently climate controlled, with separate ERVs in both washrooms.  Enjoy peace of mind in all-newer wiring and plumbing, as well as an absolute bounty of space for storage or hobbies in the dry-as-a-bone basement.  Putting down roots in this DTK location will have you mere steps from the brand-new boathouse on Victoria Park Lake, a short 5-minute jaunt from the workplaces, restaurants, boutiques and civic amenities of downtown, and occupying in the best seats in the house for the parks numerous cultural festivals all year round.  Its unlikely that you're going to find another home quite like this one anytime soon so don't miss out!
