About 385 Melanie Ave
385 Melanie Ave is a 3+1-bedroom, 2-bathroom semi-detached house in East Gardiners Rd, Kingston, listed for sale at an asking price of $499,000 (MLS® X13825414).
Completely renovated from top to bottom, this stunning turnkey bungalow is ready for its next owner. Over the past few months, nearly every aspect of 385 Melanie has been updated, including a brand-new kitchen, beautifully renovated bathrooms, fresh paint throughout, new flooring in key areas, new furnace, central air conditioning, and all new PEX plumbing with the original Poly-B plumbing completely removed. Bright, modern finishes create a clean, move-in-ready feel from the moment you step inside. The basement has roughed in plumbing so a kitchen could be easily added in the future.
