The main level features a welcoming living room, adjacent to a bright, well-appointed kitchen, 3 comfortable bedrooms, and a full bathroom, including plenty of storage throughout.

Step out back to a great entertaining deck overlooking a crisp, refreshing above-ground pool - your own warm-weather retreat. The clean, dry basement delivers excellent storage and laundry space, with great potential for future finished square footage. This home truly exemplifies the term move-in ready, with a new roof in 2026, new hot water tank, new breaker box and updated electrical at the meter, and freshly serviced septic - the recent upgrades underscore how meticulously the sellers care for this property. For those that are seeking something a step above the standard, this property is the perfect fit; completely move-in ready, polished, and incredibly impressive, 8 Thorpe Avenue Extension offers an exceptional location, effortless living, and all that's left is to unpack and enjoy!
