278 Wyant LANE

A legal two-bedroom suite, already tenanted at $1,500 a month. That's where most people start with 278 Wyant Lane, and it's a fair place to start — but it isn't the whole story. Built in 2014, this Evergreen bi-level was drawn with the suite in it from day one, not carved out later.

The lower unit has its own rear entrance and fire-separated stairwell, nine-foot ceilings, two bedrooms with proper egress windows, a full bath, in-suite laundry, and its own furnace, HRV and hot water tank. A 46 STC floor assembly sits between the two levels. Two households, one roof, very little overlap.

Upstairs is 1,127 sq ft that lives larger than it measures. Living, dining and kitchen run together, a five-foot island anchors the middle, and a girder truss overhead means there's no post in your way. Three bedrooms, the primary with walk-in closet and four-piece ensuite, plus a second full bath.

The vaulted front entry with glass railing does a lot of work. The bones are honest: 2x6 walls at R20, R40 attic, engineered floor system, radon rough-in, stucco and stone. Covered verandah, rear deck, and a 24' x 24' detached garage off the lane that the two units split half each — a stall per household, out of the snow.

Live upstairs and the suite covers a real share of the payment every month. Hold it as an investment and both units earn as they stand. Either way, the hard part is already done.
