This is the kind of home buyers remember. Welcome to 279 Stiver Street, a distinctive 4-bedroom 3-bedroom bungalow set on one of the larger lots in this established Russell neighbourhood. With no rear neighbours, the backyard backs directly onto a park, with a private gate providing convenient access to the greenspace.

The main level also includes a generous primary bedroom with double closets.
