Listing Description

An incredible location plus character, space and natural light, combined with a solid structure give this house the makings of a perfect home. Since 2002 this has been the home and studio of a well-known Canadian artist who styled it with vintage furniture and art by local and international colleagues. Spectacular light-filled rooms with wide plank painted wood floors, a full-width front porch and a hideaway back garden overflowing with greenery give the space a European sensibility. The inspection report confirms that the house is in good condition with no major issues. The basement has private exterior access and has been finished with a living area with a kitchen, a separate bedroom and a 3-piece bathroom. 130 Manning Ave is ready for a new owner to bring their artistic vision to life here. Improvements to the house by the current owner include: new windows (except for living room where original maintained for architectural integrity) most by Pella in 2011; closed-cell spray foam insulation to most exterior basement walls by Green saver in 2014; knob & tube wiring replacement by Ramalho Electric Ltd, with ESA certificate, in 2015; sump installed and connected to weeping tiles with pump and discharge to exterior by Absolute Draining & Plumbing in 2015; Trane furnace installed by Direct Energy in 2008; shingle roof replacement by Avenue Road Roofing in 2021 (with 12-year transferable warranty); vinyl siding installed to southside of house by All Siding Inc in 2010; backwater valve installed on main drain in basement.
