The main floor has the primary bedroom, plus kitchen, dining, living, and laundry. Upstairs you'll find three more bedrooms and a walk-in storage area. The backyard is where this place shines: there's a deck, a patio, and a fenced above-ground pool with its own decking, plus a large storage shed. There's even a single-car detached garage. The whole outdoor space is landscaped and ready for hosting. Inside, it's a bit dated but totally functional, with forced air gas heating, central air, and a fireplace. Appliances like the washer, dryer, fridge, stove, dishwasher, and microwave all stay. Taxes are just $1,707 a year, which is a bargain. You're a short walk from Main Street shops and the rec facilities, and West Elgin Secondary School is only a kilometre away. With the pool and the price at $599,900, this stands out in a market where nearby listings are averaging around $650K. If you need a solid, no-fuss family home with a party-ready backyard, this is it. Bonus: there's a sump pump for peace of mind.
