855 Ross Avenue, Penticton, British Columbia

About This Property

Built in 1966 by Maurice Finnerty, who served as Penticton's mayor at the time, 855 Ross Ave has been a special address in this city for nearly six decades. It sits on a half-acre inside the city, looks out over Okanagan Lake and the valley, and offers a backyard that families spend a lifetime wishing for. Spanning over 4,300 sq ft with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, centred on a main-floor layout that works beautifully for everyday life. A wall of windows at the rear fills the living spaces with natural light and opens onto a 30 ft heated saltwater pool with auto cover, patio with a shaded louvred pergola for long summer evenings, a multi-sport court for badminton and basketball, a vegetable garden, and a generous variety of fruit trees including peach, nectarine, apple, apricot, plum and cherry. All fully fenced, gated and irrigated. The finished basement with its own separate entrance adds a layer of versatility that is hard to overlook. It is ideally suited for a physician with a private practice, massage therapist, personal trainer or similar home-based professional, and with Penticton Regional Hospital just one block away, the setup makes complete sense. Upgrades include high-velocity A/C, HRV, high-efficiency on-demand boiler, 3-stage air purification, LED lighting, custom closets, and heated bathroom, kitchen and dining floors. Double garage plus RV and boat parking. A property this complete, on a lot this size, with these views, does not come along twice!
