438 Ontario Street

About This Property

Welcome to 438 Ontario Street in the heart of London's thriving Old East Village-one of the city's most exciting, character-filled neighbourhoods known for its markets, local shops, and creative energy. Just minutes from downtown and walking distance to 100 Kellogg Lane which houses the London children's museum, hard rock hotel and much more! Built circa 1890, this red brick beauty blends historic charm with smart modern updates. Offering 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, it's a perfect fit for first-time buyers, small families, or investors looking for a move-in-ready opportunity in a high-demand area. The main floor has been freshly updated (2025) with new paint, stylish lighting, and a bright, functional layout. The kitchen shines with a new stove and microwave (2025), while added pantry and bedroom storage make daily living easier. Key upgrades bring peace of mind: furnace and A/C (2015), lead water line replaced (2021), and a roof approximately 10-12 years old. Step outside to the real showstopper-a completely reimagined backyard (2025). This private retreat features all-new landscaping, patio, fencing, and garden beds, plus a newly built shed with 60-amp service-perfect for a workshop, studio, or extra storage. Curb appeal doesn't disappoint either, with refreshed front gardens, new porch decking (2025), and a new screen door. Window coverings (2024) complete the package. Character, updates, location-this one checks all the boxes. A standout home in a neighbourhood that just keeps getting better.
