Right across from the beach path on Beach Boulevard, this 1931 brick home on a 50-foot lot is a rare find in the Hamilton Beach strip. You're a 2-minute walk to the sand and the waterfront trail, and it's a 5-minute drive to Eastgate Square or Tim Hortons Field. The house packs 1,262 square feet of finished space into a 2-storey layout with 3 beds and 2 baths, both 3-piece. Main floor has that classic older-home flow: front foyer, then a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, separate dining room, and a kitchen with stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove. There's also a main-floor laundry room and a mudroom with side access, which is handy for beach gear. Upstairs, the primary bedroom isn't huge, but the other two are decent, and the second bath is compact. Vinyl siding covers the top, but the foundation is solid block. Big selling point is the yard. It's fully fenced, has a gazebo, and there's parking for up to 5 cars with a detached garage. The basement is full but unfinished, mostly storage and utility space, so you could add rec room if you need more room. Taxes run about $4,572 a year. With the median price nearby at $574,000, it's priced higher, but you're paying for the location and the rare detached garage. This place has been loved and it shows.
