This 1900 red brick Victorian in Victoria packs 1,746 square feet across two stories, with three bedrooms up and a flexible main floor that could serve as a fourth. The third bedroom is snug at 8'0'' x 5'3'', but the primary at 12'3'' x 12'6'' is solid. You're getting two full baths (one on each level), plus a half bath upstairs. The kitchen mixes old and new: stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, and wooden countertops that add warmth. Wide-plank hardwood and nine-foot ceilings carry the century charm, with original details like arched windows, gingerbread trim, and a covered front porch. Updates are significant: windows replaced in 2010, furnace and A\/C in 2021, and a new water line in 2026. Basement is full and unfinished, but stays dry. Outside, there's a large wooden deck and flagstone patio in the fenced backyard, plus a detached double garage with room for parking and storage. Situated on a 60-foot frontage, you're within minutes to Galt's Gaslight District, the Grand River trails, and a mess of cafes and restaurants-Cafe 13 Main Street Grill and Elixir Bistro just 0.8 km away. It's listed at $824,900, above the 577k median nearby, but given the condition, lot, and that 92 investment score, it's priced for what you're getting.
