The history
In 2007, a previous set of owners added two floors to this 1941 bungalow. The current owners added some finishing touches, including a bedroom on the third floor:
There’s an orchard in the backyard, which, though owned by a neighbour, is accessible to 15 Shand’s owners—at least, for now.
Big selling point
Even if the fruit technically belongs to someone else, the orchard makes for a wonderful view.
Possible deal breaker
The house doesn’t have the massive square footage of other five-bedroom Kingsway homes. Still, it’s a decent amount of house for under $2 million.
