Just a short stroll from North Middlesex District High School, this fully bricked bungalow sits on a 62.3 by 165 foot lot in Parkhill. The main floor has two bedrooms, including a spacious primary, plus a 4-piece bath. Kitchen's the size of a small banquet hall with a big island and tons of counters. It opens into the living room with gas fireplace. Head downstairs and you'll find a giant recreation room with built-in cupboards, a third bedroom, 3-piece bath, laundry, and cold storage. Backyard's fully fenced with a patio off the detached garage. New paved driveway fits four cars. All the big-ticket stuff is done: forced air gas heat, central AC, and a block foundation. Taxes run about $2,880 a year. Listed at $539,900, which matches the median for the area. The place feels move-in ready, but the rec room's got that blank-canvas vibe for whatever you need. Schools, tennis courts, and the arena are all within a few blocks. If you want the small-town life with a bit of land, this is a solid option.
