The fresh wooden porch and black-trimmed windows are your first clue this red brick bungalow's been cared for. Inside, the kitchen's been updated with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a cool exposed brick backsplash. You'll find two bedrooms and a modern bathroom with white subway tile on the main floor. The basement's partially finished with a rec area that's got a disco ball and hockey jerseys on the wall. But the real party's out back: there's an above-ground pool, a fire pit, artificial turf, and a shed for storage. Parking's easy with a detached garage and a gravel driveway that fits four cars total. This place sits on a 35 by 125 foot lot in Carling, just 2.6 km from Fanshawe College and under 3 km from H.B. Beal Secondary School. Western Fair's 1.9 km away when you want events. Listed at $419,900, which is above the nearby median of $327,350, but you're getting a renovated kitchen and a pool for that. Property taxes run about $2,079 a year. There's a tenant in place right now, but a quick close is possible if you want to move in yourself.
