This is a 2.5-storey brick house from 1912, with 3 beds and 2 baths, priced at $479,900. You get 2,200 square feet of living space on a 34.6 x 79.2 foot lot. The house has been in the same family for 50 years, so it needs some updating, but the bones are solid. The main floor has a foyer, living room, dining room, and kitchen, plus a laundry room and a bathroom in the basement. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a full bath. The attic is finished as a loft, great for a home office or studio. The basement has a rec room and a separate entrance from the rear walk-up, so you could easily add a rental suite or workshop. Parking is a huge plus: a side driveway fits three cars, and there's a detached garage for a fourth spot. The furnace, AC, and roof were recently replaced, so major systems are good. Outside, the yard is fenced and the exterior is all brick, so low maintenance. Location-wise, you're in Barton Village, walking distance to Tim Hortons Field (0.6 km), and near Parkview Secondary School (0.7 km) and Cathedral High School (0.9 km). Hamilton General Hospital is 1.7 km away. The neighbourhood has 112 active listings, with a median price of $549,950, so this is on the affordable end. It's a bit of a fixer-upper, but with so much original charm and a rare downtown parking setup, it's a solid investment. Just be prepared to put in some sweat equity.
