About This Home
As of July 2025Welcome to 226 4th Avenue, a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cape in the heart of Lordship, fully renovated from top to bottom in 2017.

The kitchen offers quartz countertops, a center island, stainless steel appliances, and opens to a sun-filled family room overlooking the backyard and patio. Hardwood floors and Thermopane windows on the main level bring warmth, light, and comfort to each space. A full bathroom and first-floor bedroom offer flexibility and ease for guests or everyday living. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms and a beautifully updated full bath with clean, classic finishes. The finished lower level includes a recreation/playroom area, separate home office, and generous storage. Outside, the backyard is a true retreat - complete with a patio for relaxing, dining, or entertaining, plus a detached two-car garage for added convenience. Located in Stratford's beloved Lordship neighborhood, this updated coastal charmer offers comfort, convenience, and a true sense of community. Don't miss your chance to make it yours!
