You're getting a real piece of history here. This 1910-ish stucco house has been in the same family for a century. Inside, you'll find 9-foot ceilings and crown mouldings, plus two stained-glass windows in the living and dining rooms. The gas fireplace in the dining room is a cozy touch. There's a sunroom at the front with casement windows and a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling. It's the kind of spot where you'll actually want to sit and read. The main floor also has an eat-in kitchen and a powder room. Upstairs, three bedrooms share a 4-piece bath. One bedroom opens to a balcony that overlooks the backyard. Speaking of the yard, it's 40 by 120 feet. Mature perennials are everywhere. There's a detached garage with an opener and a concrete driveway. Parking for four cars total. The boiler and two ductless AC units are from 2014, the hot water tank is owned and new in 2024, and the roof was done in 2009. Hardwood hides under some carpeting. This house sits on a quiet street in southwest Port Colborne. You're about a 10-minute walk to H.H. Knoll Lakeview Park and all the shops along West Street. Port Colborne High School is just 0.6 km away. Asking $460,000. Similar places around here are selling for around $550K, so this is a solid entry point. For a century home with this kind of character and location, it's a fair price.
