This 1.5-storey house has 3 beds and 1 bath in about 1,440 sq ft, sitting on a 53 by 208 foot lot. It's priced at $319,900, which matches the median in the area, but it needs work. Think of it as a fixer-upper with good bones. Main floor has a living room with a corner gas fireplace and hardwood floors, plus an eat-in kitchen that opens to a dining area. There's also a main-floor bedroom, a 4-piece bath, and a laundry room with a washer, dryer, and utility sink. Upstairs, you'll find two more bedrooms and an office nook with dormer windows. Standout feature? Detached double garage with heating and RV parking-great for a workshop. Lot is deep and has a gravel driveway with room for several cars. Exterior is vinyl siding with a covered porch. It's in the West End, just a 2-minute walk to St. Clair College's Thames Campus, and a short stroll to Tim Hortons, a few restaurants, and the bus stop. Downtown is about a 10-minute walk. Property taxes are $3,304/year. Home is being sold as an estate, so it's as-is. Some rooms have purple walls and the place feels dated, but recent buyers nearby are paying similar prices for comparable homes.
