You're right across from the elementary school and a kids' park here on Parkside Drive, making school runs a non-event and afternoons a breeze. The real showpiece is the yard: 59 by 183 feet of mature treed privacy, with a deck built for hosting, a gazebo, and a carport that swallows three cars. Inside, it's a classic 2.5-storey brick home with stone foundation, and they've kept the good bones. Hardwood floors run through the main floor, and there's shiplap in the living room that adds a modern farmhouse feel. Kitchen got a recent update with subway tile and stainless steel appliances. Three bedrooms up top share a renovated 4-piece bath, and the attic is finished as a fourth bedroom (or office/playroom, your call). Basement is raw but has laundry and space for a workshop. With central air and forced air gas heat, you're comfortable year-round. Parking for five total, including the carport. Taxes are a modest $3,859. Now, the neighbourhood: St. Mary's school is just 100 metres away, Tim Hortons is a two-minute walk, and you're 15 minutes from Wellington Heights Secondary. Mount Forest's downtown, with the tearoom and shops, is about a 10-minute walk. This is a family-friendly street with only a handful of homes currently on the market nearby. At $639,900, it's priced above the area median of $594,900, but you're paying for that lot and the location. It's been loved, and it shows.
