This spot is all about the land. You're looking at a 132 by 151 foot lot, which is enormous for Kitchener, especially with Res-2 zoning that opens the door for redevelopment or a big custom build. There's a solid brick bungalow on it now, 3 beds and 1 bath all on one floor, but it's dated and sold as-is. The kitchen is huge and the living room has good bones, but you're really buying the canvas. Inside, you've got baseboard electric heat and no A/C, so factor that in. The basement is unfinished and you get to it through the garage, which also has interior access. That's a bit of a quirk, but it could work for a workshop or storage. Four parking spots total, which is a plus on a lot like this. Taxes run about $4,938 a year, and the price at $599,000 sits under the nearby median, which is around $614k. The neighbourhood is residential with walking trails and schools close by, and you're 3.2 km from Eastwood Collegiate Institute and about the same from Centre In The Square. If you're an investor or builder, this is a strong play. The market's active, with homes selling in about 21 days on average. Just be ready to put in the work.
