Description

Set on a 20 × 132 lot in the heart of Briarwood, this classic colonial offers generous space, flexible living, and meaningful upgrades throughout. The home features four well-proportioned bedrooms and 21/2 baths across a thoughtfully designed layout. Hardwood floors run throughout the main and upper levels, while the finished basement features durable tile flooring—providing practicality and easy maintenance. A formal dining room and bright living area create comfortable space for everyday living and entertaining. The eat-in kitchen and bathrooms were fully renovated, and major mechanical systems—including roof, boiler, electrical, and plumbing—were updated as part of a comprehensive renovation. Buyers benefit from substantial capital improvements already completed. A finished basement with its own full bath adds valuable bonus space—ideal for recreation, extended living, or additional storage. Upstairs, the bedrooms offer comfortable proportions, natural light, and practical closet space. Outside, a private driveway accommodates multiple vehicles and leads to a fenced rear yard. Conveniently located near the E and F subway lines as well as the Q20, Q44, and Q25 bus routes, and offering easy access to major highways, neighborhood shopping, and parks, this four-bedroom Briarwood residence combines scale, functionality, and strong commuter convenience.
