This west-end backsplit on Kirkland Drive is a solid 5-bed, 3-bath family home that's been well looked after. You're getting 3 beds up top, plus 2 more in the finished lower level, which also has its own bathroom. That layout gives you some flexibility for guests or older kids. The main floor has a sunken living room (currently set up as a dining area, but you can flip it back) and a roomy eat-in kitchen with extra cabinets, a pantry, and a built-in window seat. It's open to the rec room below, so it feels connected when you're entertaining. The backyard is easy to maintain, has a gazebo for morning coffee or BBQs, and there's an oversized 1.5-car detached garage that's insulated and has a gas space heater. Perfect for a workshop or storing your toys. Roof shingles were replaced in 2020, and the basement is fully finished with poured concrete foundation. It's on a quiet, low-traffic street, and you can walk to Westlane Secondary School in about 5 minutes. The Fallsview area is roughly 4 km away, so you're close to restaurants and attractions without living in the tourist zone. Taxes run about $4,372 a year. With a median nearby sold price of $836,850, this one at $639,500 gives you room to add your own touches. There's a fireplace in the family room, central air, and hardwood floors throughout. A solid choice for a growing family or someone wanting a hobby space. The market's moving here, so don't sit on it too long.
