We Love Old East Hill. And How Could We Not? Tree-lined streets, century architecture, and a location that puts you walking distance to downtown Belleville, Zwicks Park, the Bay of Quinte waterfront, schools, and QHC Belleville General. Highway 401 and CFB Trenton are a short drive when you need them. This is the kind of neighbourhood where the streets have character and the neighbours have history.

The Updates: The Big Stuff Is Done

This beauty was built in 1915 and over the years has been updated where it counts. Since the last time this property was on the market, the owners completed the work that serious buyers and home inspectors always ask about first: electrical update, plumbing update, basement floor and walls redone, new roofing on the front addition, and a fresh repaint throughout. That is on top of the numerous upgrades already in place. The big stuff is handled.

The Main Unit: Character You Cannot Build New

The main unit is generous and full of the charm you just cannot replicate in new construction. The main floor features a formal living room, a formal dining room with fireplace, a large bright kitchen, a family room, a spacious home office, a recreation room, main floor laundry, and a 3-piece bathroom. The layout is functional, flexible, and full of the original detailing that makes century homes worth buying.

Then upstairs the primary suite stops you in your tracks. Vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, a private hot tub, and a luxurious 5-piece ensuite. It lives like a private retreat.

The Upper Apartment: Cash Flow From Day One

The upper apartment is clean, bright, and fully self-contained across three levels of its own. Open living and dining, a full kitchen, a 4-piece bathroom, and a large private bedroom on the top floor. The current tenant is outstanding and open to staying. That is not just a bonus, that is cash flow from day one.

The Exterior: Solid, Low Maintenance, Easy to Enjoy

Step outside and the exterior matches the interior energy. Full brick construction, metal roof, a porch worth sitting on, a patio worth using, a detached garage, and six parking spaces. Landscaped for easy enjoyment, not endless upkeep. Gas hot water heat. Zoned R4.
